Heroin Dealer Lucas Gomes Jailed for Over Four Years
Lucas Gomes, 25, a nomad with no fixed address, has been slammed with a four-year-and-three-month prison sentence for pushing heroin in High Wycombe. The Reading Crown Court handed down the punishment after a rapid police crackdown.
Gomes also copped guilty pleas for possessing a Class B drug and driving uninsured. Alongside jail time, he was ordered to hand over £490.43 in seized cash.
High-Tech Hunt Snags Drug Dealer
The bust kicked off on 23 September 2025 when Gomes was caught running his heroin operation. Trying to ditch his phone to dodge cops, he was outsmarted when a specially trained police dog sniffed it out. That led to his arrest the very next day.
Police Pledge Ongoing War on Drug Crime
PC Matthew Pepper of the High Wycombe Proactive Team said: “I am pleased that Gomes pleaded guilty to this drug supply offence and has now been given a substantial prison sentence as a result. We remain absolutely committed to rooting out drug dealers in our communities and will never tire in our pursuit of those who seek to cause such harm.”
He urged locals to come forward with any drug crime tips: “You can report confidentially online, ring 101, or tell the charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
