SLOUGH: A teenager from London has been sentenced for committing drug offences in Slough.

He was also told to complete 20 rehabilitation activity requirement days, 200 hours of unpaid work and given an electronic curfew for three months between 7pm and 7am.

Sinclair pleaded guilty to two counts of possession with intent to supply class A drugs – crack cocaine and heroin.

At 4.45pm on March 24 last year, Sinclair was stopped and searched by officers in Rochford Gardens, Slough.

A quantity of class A drugs was found, as well as a large quantity of cash and a burner phone.

After being arrested and taken to custody, a strip search found a package of suspected class A drugs concealed in his boxers.

The drugs were later forensically tested and both packages were confirmed to be heroin and crack cocaine.

Sergeant Ricci Dolan, based at Slough police station, said: “Thames Valley Police will not tolerate drug supply and we will continue to protect our communities from the harm it causes.”
