Following a Thames Valley Police investigation, a man has been sentenced for drug supply in Slough.

Mohsan Hussain, aged 38, of Martin Road, Slough, was sentenced at Reading Crown Court on Friday (19/6), to three years in prison.

Hussain pleaded guilty to one count each of:

• Possession with intent to supply a controlled drug, class A – namely crack cocaine
• Possession with intent to supply a controlled drug, class A – namely heroin
• Concerned in the supply of heroin
• Concerned in the supply of crack cocaine

Across the 5th and 6th of February this year, our CCTV operators witnessed drug dealing in Salt Hill park. When officers arrived, Hussain tried to flee but was caught in possession of around 100 wraps of crack cocaine and heroin with an estimated street value totalling £1,000. He was also in possession of two mobile phones and a large amount of cash.

Hussain was charged the following day, 7 February.

Investigating officer, PC Josh Bennet said: “This sentence demonstrates that drug dealing will not be tolerated in our communities. Hussain was found in possession of a significant quantity of Class A drugs, along with cash and mobile phones linked to his offending.

“Thanks to the vigilance of our CCTV operators and the swift response of officers, he was quickly identified, detained and brought to justice.

“Drug supply causes significant harm, often fuelling further crime and exploiting vulnerable people. We will continue to work proactively to disrupt this activity and protect our communities.

“If you have concerns about drug-related activity in your area, please report it to us – your information really does make a difference.”
