Three Men Busted in Massive Chippenham Drug Raid
Police have charged three men after uncovering a massive stash of Class A and B drugs in Chippenham. The blitz targeted two properties in a crackdown on supply lines in the area.
Drugs Haul Worth Thousands Seized
- Ashraful Islam, 21, of Oakfields, faces multiple charges for supplying cocaine, ketamine, cannabis, and ecstasy.
- Charlie Salmon, 21, from Upper Tadmarton, Oxfordshire, and Romelleo Da Silva, 41, of Marshfield Road, Chippenham, are charged with supplying cocaine.
During the raids, officers seized over 2.5kg of ketamine, 300g of cocaine, and 1kg of cannabis at a Kings Avenue address. Another search at a Chelwood Close flat uncovered more cocaine, hitting the dealers hard.
Suspects Held and Facing Court
All three men remain in police custody and are due to appear at Swindon Magistrates’ Court today (Wednesday), as the investigation presses on.
Chelwood Close Flat Sealed Off
Authorities have slapped a closure order on the Chelwood Close flat, banning anyone not named in the order from entering under threat of criminal charges.
“This operation has hit a serious drug supply line in Chippenham,” said police sources. “We will not tolerate this kind of criminal activity in our communities.”
