Four Men Jailed After Drug Arrests in Aylesbury - Mix 96

Four men have been jailed for drug offences after being arrested as part of Operation Sideline in Aylesbury.

Paul Maginn, 38, from Hamble Drive, Aylesbury, and Adrian McCarthy, aged 37, from Lynher Close, Aylesbury, have both been jailed for two years for supplying class A drugs.

Ashley Blake, aged 30, from Belgrave Road, Aylesbury and Adam Freeman, aged 27, from Oliffe Close, Aylesbury have both been jailed for 18 months for supplying class A drugs.

All four (pictured, right) had pleaded guilty to the charges and were sentenced at Oxford Crown Court yesterday (Monday, the 15th of October).

A 17 year-old boy from Aylesbury was given an 18 month supervision order, a six month curfew and ordered to carry out 80 hours of unpaid work after admitting supplying class A drugs.

Det Insp Russ Murden, from Aylesbury CID says:

These are the first people to be jailed under Operation Sideline and it sends a strong message to the community that we have taken strong and decisive action against those involved in the supply of illegal drugs in Aylesbury.

"I hope that the sentences act as a deterrent to anyone else involved in this type of activity.
