A Maidenhead man who was found with a cache of cocaine worth over £44,000 has been imprisoned for over 13 months. In March last year, Robert Appleton, 49, from Wessex Way, was found with a total of nearly half a kilo of cocaine at his home. That payment was a quantity of cocaine – 69 grams, which had a street value of £6,840. The rest – 373g of cocaine, worth £37,280 – was being held for dealers to sell elsewhere, the court heard. “It’s quite clear that you had an expectation of a significant advantage from the deal,” said Judge Millard.
