A man from Luton was jailed after police officers carried out a search at a property and located a large amount of drugs.

Zeshaan Khan, 30, of Connaught Road, was jailed for more than three years after pleading guilty to four counts of drug possession.

Khan was arrested on 12 July following an intelligence led warrant at his home address. Upon searching the property, officers found 448 wraps of various class A drugs; including crack cocaine, cocaine and heroin.

Investigation Officer Gary Hales, who investigated, said: “We are satisfied with the outcome of the search as a large quantity of drugs have been taken off the street, and can no longer cause harm.

“Eradicating drugs from the streets of Bedfordshire is a priority as they are the driving factor in much of the violence and anti-social behaviour that blights our communities. Men like Khan look to exploit vulnerable people for profit and cause misery.

“Our work is not over as we are also seeking to deprive Khan of the assets he gained as result of his criminality.

“Tackling this issue is everyone’s business and it is important for our communities to work with us by continuing to report any information or suspicions. This can be done anonymously via Crimestoppers.”
