Enquiries began after counterfeit cash was used in a shop
Police investigating the use of counterfeit money in a Wilton shop have also found a 'cannabis factory' in the town.

- A 40 year old man on suspicion of fraud by false representation and being concerned in the cultivation of a Class B drug
- A 50 year old woman on suspicion of being concerned in the cultivation of a Class B drug
All three of them have been released on police bail pending further enquiries.
