Wajid Ali (right, in black hooded top) outside Swindon Crown Court Picture: ADVER PHOTOGRAPHER A DRUG dealer caught with £550-worth of crack cocaine and heroin was given a chance to stay out of prison. But Wajid Ali, 21, must stay out of trouble over the next six months and do what he can to find a job. Deferring sentence at Swindon Crown Court, Judge Jason Taylor QC said: “The ball is entirely in your court because if you step out of line then you know you will go to prison.” The court heard police had tried to stop Ali on September 19 last year as he was riding his bicycle without lights.
Swindon Crown Court A HANDYMAN arranged to meet a 13-year-old “girl” at Shaw Ridge – after swapping more than 1,000 messages with her online. Robert Buck spent around 10 days chatting to what he thought was a schoolgirl on WhatsApp. But the person behind the profile, which was in the name of Freya, was a so-called paedophile hunter working with group Justice for the Innocent. The group had arranged to confront 34-year-old Buck at Shaw Ridge, West Swindon, on January 19, 2020. But Swindon Crown Court heard the man had “got spooked” and driven off. He was arrested the following day at his home. Prosecutor Simon Foster told the court the messages had begun innocuously but soon turned to explicit topics. They would message each other from 7am to late at night.
