TWO MEN have been jailed following a Thames Valley Police investigation into Class A drug supply in Reading.
Tajal Campbell, aged 22 and of Westwood Road, Reading, pleaded guilty to two counts of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs, namely crack cocaine and heroin.
Joshua Oliver, aged 28 and of no fixed abode, also pleaded guilty to two counts of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs, namely crack cocaine and heroin.
Campbell was sentenced to four years imprisonment at Reading Crown Court on Friday, November 14.
Oliver was sentenced to 20 months imprisonment, suspended for 24 months, at the same court on Friday, February 20.
It comes after, in September last year, when police entered a flat on Caroline Street in Reading and located crack cocaine, heroin, drug paraphernalia and £515 in cash. Mobile phones were also located, one of which contained text messages advertising the sale of drugs.
PC Ross Hutcheson of Reading’s Proactive team said, “Our team will continue proactively targeting and prosecuting those involved in drug supply, which has a devastating impact on our communities.
“Our activity is both visible and covert, and is designed to disrupt those supplying drugs. Information we receive from the public about drugs supply in Reading plays an important role in helping us to develop intelligence to support our proactive investigations.
“If you have any information we encourage you to report it to us by calling 101 or via the online reporting tool on our website.”
