Michael Lonsdale, 41 of Vine Court, Bulls Lane was sentenced to 22 months in prison, suspended for two years for being concerned in the supply of cocaine and heroin at Swindon Crown Court on Friday (14/06).
Becky Marlow, 42, also of Vine Court, Bulls Lane pleaded guilty to two counts of possession of cocaine and heroin and was sentenced to 7 days in prison or to pay a £200 fine by November, at a hearing on May 3.
It follows a drug warrant carried out by officers on June 8, 2022. Suspected drugs were thrown out of the window, drug dealing equipment such as scales were seized from inside the property and the two occupants arrested. It is believed that attempts were made to flush drugs down the sink in the kitchen.
Weapons such as nun-chucks and air guns were also seized.
DC Kev Golledge said: "This was a detailed investigation by the Corsham Neighbourhood Team and the Burglary and Serious Youth Gang Violence Team.
“We will not tolerate drug dealing within our community. The supply of drugs can cause untold damage to those in our communities and we will work tirelessly to bring offenders to justice.
"We’d like to take this opportunity to encourage people to keep reporting to us any information about drug supply.
"Any information submitted can help us build a better picture of what is going on, so that we can allocate our resources and take action."
