Wiltshire Police have smashed in the front door of a property in Melksham as part of a drugs raid.
On Thursday, June 26, the force published a video of officers visiting the property and carrying out a search.
The video shows multiple police officers, including officers armed with battering rams and sniffer dogs attending a property and knocking in the door before scouring the home.
Posting on social media, Wiltshire Police said: “Officers in Melksham carried out a drug warrant this week following intelligence and concerns from the community.

“As part of our Neighbourhood Policing Week of action we are showing you some of the work you do not necessarily see.
“If you have concerns about something in your community let us know. You can do this through our website or by calling 101.”
In the video, inspector Ho Tsang explains that the warrant permits them to access a property for drugs and related items.
The warrant has to be sworn, meaning a magistrates' court has to approve the warrant.
Before this, the police have to gather enough intelligence on the property in question to satisfy the court.
