A READING man has been jailed for drug dealing.
James Tollafield, 46 and from Duke Street in the town centre, was sentenced to two years in prison by judges at Reading Crown Court on Friday, August 26.
He had pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply crack cocaine and heroin, both class A drugs.
On Saturday, January 9 last year, Thames Valley Police officers witnessed Tollafield selling drugs in an alleyway between Newcastle Road and Cintra Park.
The officers arrested him, and found 50 wraps of crack cocaine and heroin in his possession.
Investigating officer Detective Sergeant Jon Nicholls, of the Stronghold Team in Reading, said: “The Reading Stronghold team proactively and robustly target drug dealers, using both overt and covert tactics in order to take drugs off our streets.
“The public play a vital role in our fight against drugs, so if you have any information about drug dealing then please contact the police.
“You can leave information online or by calling 101.”
