A drug dealer has been jailed for three years after police discovered significant quantities of cocaine and heroin hidden during a vehicle stop in Bletchley. Aaron Charles Ellwood, 25, of Greenwell Road, Essex, was sentenced at Aylesbury Crown Court on Thursday 30 July following a Thames Valley Police investigation. Ellwood was unanimously found guilty by a jury on 9 April of two counts of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs – one relating to cocaine and the other to heroin. The convictions relate to an incident on 6 May 2025 when officers stopped a vehicle near Newton Road in Bletchley. During the stop, officers saw Ellwood attempting to conceal items inside the driver’s side door. The packages were recovered and found to contain wraps of cocaine and heroin. A further search uncovered additional quantities of Class A drugs concealed on Ellwood’s body. He was arrested at the scene and charged the following day, on 7 May 2025. Investigating officer PC Cameron Sharpe said: “This sentence demonstrates Thames Valley Police’s commitment to tackling the supply of illegal drugs in our communities. “Ellwood was found in possession of significant quantities of Class A drugs and attempted to conceal them from officers when he was stopped. Thanks to the vigilance of our officers and a thorough investigation, he has now been held accountable for his actions. “Drug dealing causes significant harm to individuals and communities, often bringing exploitation, violence and other criminality into our neighbourhoods. We will continue to target those involved in the supply of drugs and work to make our communities safer places to live.” Thames Valley Police said it remains committed to disrupting the supply of illegal drugs, pursuing those involved in organised criminality and bringing offenders before the courts to help keep communities safe.
