Two men have been arrested for drugs offences in Swindon.

They were stopped by officers on patrol near St Marks Park in the Gorse Hill area yesterday evening - after they found cash and drugs.

Both men, aged 20 and 18, were arrested for being concerned in the supply of Class B drugs and remain in police custody.

Central Swindon North, Stratton and West Neighbourhood Inspector Bel Martin said: “This was excellent collaborative work between the local priority tasking team and the local neighbourhood team to apprehend these individuals for drugs offences.

“I’d like to appeal to the community to continue reporting any suspicious activity that you see – we really do rely upon it.

“Your reports aren’t going unheard – each one helps us build a broader picture of the situation on the ground and we are acting upon them and getting results.”
