A 21-YEAR-OLD man has been sentenced to four years in prison on two counts of intent to supply class A drugs.

Laquain Bishop, 21, of Oban Street, London, initially pleaded not guilty to one offence of intent to supply heroin, and one offence of intent to supply cocaine, but at a later hearing, he changed his plea to guilty.

He was sentenced to four years at Reading Crown Court last Friday (21/8) after he pleaded guilty on March 13, 2015.

He was arrested on August 14, 2014 at Martins Heron train station in Bracknell.

Members of the public reported seeing Bishop, popping in and out of hedges in a residential street in the area.

Thames Valley Police officers then found him on a train platform and he was seen ducking out of their sight when they got there and he tried to run away when they went to speak to him but was stopped.

They then found a large quantity of money and drugs  discarded down the back of the 10ft high embankment.

Bishop was detained for a Section 23 Misuse of Drugs Search, two mobile phones were found on him and he was arrested for possession with intent to supply.

Investigating Officer from Thames Valley Police, PC James Greehy based at Bracknell police station, said:

“Both TVP and CID from British Transport Police, have worked long and hard to secure a conviction against Bishop.

"The sentence handed down gives a clear warning to those who attempt to deal drugs and shows that Thames Valley Police will deal robustly with those travelling into Bracknell to commit offences like this."
