A drug dealer from Thatcham has been jailed for four years after Thames Valley Police officers caught him supplying cocaine on two separate occasions.
Daniel Wilder, aged 31, of Montacute Drive, Thatcham, was first arrested on July 28, 2025, after police officers witnessed him dealing drugs in a park off Agricola Way in Thatcham.
A search of his home uncovered 60 grams of cocaine, valued at around £5,400, hidden in his bedroom wardrobe, along with £1,020 in cash.
Despite being released on bail, Wilder was caught again, this time dealing drugs outside a Tesco Express on Northfield Road in Thatcham on February 16 this year.
He pleaded guilty to two counts of being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs, namely cocaine, and two counts of possession of a Class B drug, namely cannabis.
Wilder was sentenced at Reading Crown Court on August 28.
PC Macy Watson, from the Neighbourhood Disruptions Team for Newbury, said:
"Wilder continued to deal Class A drugs even 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.
"This sentence demonstrates our commitment to tackling drug-related crime and protecting the public."
