Two men have been arrested and charged after police raided a Wiltshire property.

Officers from the Trowbridge Neighbourhood Team and the Metropolitan Police seized around 1kg of cocaine at an address in Trowbridge on Thursday, May 7.

35-year-old Christopher Cain, of Studley Rise, and 51-year-old Jaroslaw Gawrysewski, of no fixed abode, were arrested and charged with possession with intent to supply cocaine and cannabis.

Cain was also charged with possession of an offensive weapon in a private place, after a knuckle duster was found at the address.

Both men have been remanded in custody and are due to appear at Salisbury Magistrates Court on Friday, May 8.



The charges come from collaborative work between the two police forces as part of Op Orochi, a Met Police crackdown.

A spokesperson for Wilshire Police said: “We have charged two people with drugs offences following excellent collaborative work by Local Policing officers and the Metropolitan Police’s Op Orochi team at an address in Trowbridge yesterday (May 7), where around 1kg of cocaine was seized.

“If you have any information about drug-related activity, please report it in confidence by calling 101 or making a report on our website.
