A man who was hoarding a substantial amount of cocaine at his Aylesbury Vale home has been jailed for over five years.

On Wednesday (28 February), Alfred Gjolekaj, aged 49, of Otters Brook, in Buckingham, was sentenced to five years and three months’ imprisonment.

He admitted to one count each of possession with intent to supply cocaine and being concerned in the supply of cocaine, and of being in possession of cocaine.

Thames Valley Police says the amount of cocaine recovered from his home had a total street value of £132,000.
