A TEENAGER from Reading has been jailed for drug dealing after being caught with crack cocaine and heroin.
Cameron Gruber was given a sentence of two years and nine months after pleading guilty to two counts of possession with intent to supply a class A drug and one count of possession of a class B drug.
Winchester Crown Court heard that on January 4, Thames Valley Police officers searched a home in George Street, off Oxford Road.
A bundle of wraps containing crack cocaine and heroin were recovered from the property with a street value in the region of £1,500 and a quantity of cannabis was recovered from Gruber’s pockets.
The 19-year-old from Mason Street was charged the following day.
He pleaded guilty on March 21, and was sentenced on Friday, April 28.
Investigating officer PC Liam Steele, based at Reading police station, said: “We will not tolerate those who look to supply drugs in our communities and we will robustly target and prosecute these offenders.
“Our activity will be both visible and covert in order to disrupt those who are involved in the supply of drugs.
“Information from the public around this sort of offending in Reading plays a vital role in developing intelligence for our investigations.
“If you have information about drug dealing which you would like to report, please call us on 101, or contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
