“I hope this case serves as a warning to drug dealers that they will not be tolerated, we will pursue you and we will bring you before the courts for justice.
“We will continue to work with the community and our partners as part of our Stronghold campaign to stop drug dealers from having a detrimental impact in the Thames Valley.”
