A man was detained and searched and a quantity of cash and a mobile phone, with evidence to suggest Class A drug supply had been taking place, was seized.

An 18-year-old from Chippenham was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs.

After further enquiries, officers then entered an address nearby where they located a quantity of individual drugs wraps. The man was further arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of Class B drugs.

The second man – an 18-year-old from Calne – was also searched and arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of Class A and B drugs.
