He was sentenced to a total of five years and 11 months’ imprisonment – three years and one month for the possession offences and a further two years’ and ten months’ imprisonment for drug dealing offences in Swindon. The sentences will run consecutively.

Investigating officer, PC Tom Hughes-Parry of the problem solving team based at Maidenhead police station, said:

“This was a stop search targeting a county line dealer who was dealing in the Royal Borough but also as far away as Swindon.

“Drug dealing and county lines will not be tolerated and I hope his conviction and sentence acts a deterrent to others.”
