Drug dealer caught with £1m stash given longer prison sentence after appeal

Danny Wilder

A St Leonards man found with drugs worth almost £1 million has been jailed for seven years.

Danny Wilder, 38, of Vale Road, in St Leonards, was detained after being seen behaving suspiciously by officers in Cloudesley Road on Friday 19 May last year.

He was searched, found with a small amount of cocaine and cash and arrested on suspicion of having class A drugs with intent to supply.

When officers searched his home, they found around 10kg of cocaine and 16kg of cannabis, plus around £30,000 in cash.

The drugs are believed to have a street value of around £930,000.

Wilder was subsequently charged with having class A and class B drugs with intent to supply and money laundering and, at Lewes Crown Court on Monday 19 June 2023, he pleaded guilty to all charges.

At Brighton Crown Court on Monday (18 March), the judge, Recorder Geraint Jones, jailed Wilder for seven years for having class A drugs with intent to supply.

He also jailed Wilder for three years for having cannabis with intent to supply and two years for money laundering, with both terms to run concurrently.

Further seizures under the Proceeds of Crime Act are due to be discussed at a hearing on Monday 22 July.

Danny Wilder

Detective Constable Amy Pooley said: “This was a significant seizure of harmful substances that would have had a devastating impact on the communities of Sussex.

“Danny Wilder is a committed offender who has been brought to justice thanks to the tireless work of Sussex Police and its partners.

“Illegal drug supply will absolutely not be tolerated in Sussex and we will continue to work closely with our partners and other forces to identify those responsible and bring them to justice.

“You can report any suspicions or crime to Sussex Police online or via 101 or report anonymously through the independent charity Crimestoppers online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org or by calling 0800 555111. Always call 999 in an emergency.”
