A Berkshire man has been jailed for four years after being caught supplying cocaine on two separate occasions.

Daniel Wilder, 31, of Montacute Drive, Thatcham, was first arrested on 28 July 2025 after Thames Valley Police officers saw him dealing drugs in a park off Agricola Way.

A search of his home subsequently uncovered 60g of cocaine hidden in his bedroom wardrobe, with an estimated street value of £5,400.

Officers also found £1,020 in cash.

Despite being released on bail, Wilder was later seen dealing drugs again, this time outside Tesco Express on Northfield Road, Thatcham, on 16 February this year.

He pleaded guilty to two counts of being concerned in the supply of a Class A drug, cocaine, and two counts of possessing a Class B drug, cannabis.

Wilder was sentenced to four years in prison at Reading Crown Court on 28 August.

PC Macy Watson, from Thames Valley Police’s Neighbourhood Disruptions Team for Newbury, said Wilder had continued dealing Class A drugs while on bail.

“The supply of drugs causes significant harm to our communities and we will continue to identify those involved, disrupt their criminal activity and bring them before the courts,” she said.

“This sentence demonstrates our commitment to tackling drug-related crime and protecting the public.”

Thames Valley Police said its officers would continue working to identify people involved in the supply of drugs across the area.
