Police are appealing for information after more than 200kg of a mysterious white power was left by the roadside at Semington this afternoon.

The incident was reported to Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service at around 4.30pm and an officer went to the scene.

The powder was thought not to be dangerous and Wiltshire Council highways workers were cleaning up the area by around 6pm.

Police were present while the clean-up was carried out and would like anyone with information to contact them by calling 101.
