A Reading woman has been jailed for three years after police seize 40 street deals consisting of 27 wraps of crack and 13 wraps of heroin from her possession.

Gail Goodrick, 41 of Waylen Street, Reading pleaded guilty at Reading Crown Court on Wednesday, November 2 to a count each of possession with intent to supply the class A drugs.

Police spotted Goodrick at approximately 5pm on September 21 interacting with known drug users in Jesse Terrace where she was then detained.

PC Russell Morbey, based at Reading police station, said: “Our Stronghold team will proactively and robustly target and prosecute drug dealers.

“The dealing of drugs in our communities cause untold harm, particularly to those most vulnerable, and we will not tolerate this.

“Our activity will be both visible and covert, aimed at disrupting and stopping offenders involved in the supply of drugs.”

Alongside the three-year sentence, cash to a total of £279 was forfeited and it was ordered that the drugs were destroyed.

PC Morbey added: “The information that we receive from the public plays a key role in us tackling drug supply in Reading, helping to develop intelligence into proactive investigations.

“If you have any information about drug dealing in your area, we would encourage you to report this to us by calling 101 or via our website.”
