Caution for man arrested during Corsham drug warrant
It follows a series of warrants targeting drug dealers across Wiltshire.
A man from Corsham has been given a caution after being arrested during a series of warrants targeting drug dealers across Wiltshire.
The 20-year-old was arrested after intelligence led police to carry out a warrant on a property in Limestone Drive during Operation Scorpion on November 24.
A small amount of cannabis was located at the address along with a knuckle duster.
The man was given a community resolution which included having to complete a drug awareness course, as well as a caution for the knuckle duster, which has been seized and destroyed.
PC Kevin Golledge said, "We use community resolutions for low-level crimes to try to divert individuals, particularly first-time offenders, away from the formal criminal justice system.
"We use this as part of an educational strategy, aiming to reduce reoffending by addressing the root causes of drug use rather than imposing formal punishment."
