At least two people were arrested in Melksham today as part of a major police operation into the drugs trade across Wiltshire.

Officers executed a number of warrants this morning as part of Operation Harness, which saw a total of 15 people arrested in Melksham, Chippenham and Swindon.

Most of the arrests were related to the supply of crack cocaine and heroin.

A total of 17 addresses were searched across the county, with crack, heroin and cannabis recovered, as well as a replica firearm and offensive weapon.

The operation was run in conjunction with housing associations, drugs services, councils and trading standards, and has seen a series of co-ordinated raids on properties since May.

It also aims to crack down on vehicle crime, stolen goods and anti-social behaviour.

Anyone with information which could assist police is asked to call 101, or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
