More than £16,000 in cash and quantities of suspected Class B and Class C drugs have been seized during simultaneous police raids at two addresses in Melksham.

The operation was carried out by Melksham’s Neighbourhood Policing Team, supported by officers from Trowbridge and Warminster and the Neighbourhood Tasking Team. Police said the warrants followed intelligence relating to suspected drug dealing in the area.
