Drug dealer jailed for running county lines operation

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 22 Oct, 13:03 · Archive

Irfan Mascuud, 22, was jailed for 52 months for operating the AJ drugs line between Didcot and Slough.

Irfan Mascuud, 22, of Haswell Crescent, Slough, was sentenced at Oxford Crown Court on 21 October after pleading guilty to being concerned in the supply of class A drugs. He was found to be holding the AJ drugs line, which operated between Didcot and Slough, earlier this year.

Police stopped a vehicle in which Mascuud was travelling and seized a burner phone linked to the line. Bulk marketing messages to drug users were discovered on the phone. The court heard that Mascuud had four previous convictions for six offences, including drug offences and wounding with intent.

Prosecuting counsel Alexandra Boshell told the court that Mascuud had a significant role in the operation and an expectation of significant financial advantage. Judge Michael Roques said Mascuud was responsible for sending the messages and must have understood the scale of the operation. Mascuud was jailed for a total of 52 months, and an order was made for the deprivation of the phone seized.
