Some cash was also recovered, but police were unable to confirm how much.
Armed officers used specialist equipment to break through the front door of the building before storming the property.
Firearms officers are trained to use equipment that is not available to other front-line responders and were called to assist units from the Trowbridge Neighbourhood Team who were executing the warrant.
