PC James Isaac, from Wiltshire Police's Operation Fortitude team, said:
"County lines drug dealers operate across the country, bringing illegal drugs from large cities such as London into smaller towns and rural areas.
"They not only supply illegal drugs, which cause great harm to our communities, but also bring with them the associated violence and exploitation.
"We are working hard to detain these people, seize drugs and weapons, and see that they are brought to justice."
