“This is a great result thanks to the hard work of the Swindon South Community Policing Team and sends out the message that will always act on intelligence from the local community and will continue to robustly deal with those engaged in the supply of drugs on our streets.
“We will do everything we can to stop anyone responsible for organised crime and drug supply in Swindon and the rest of the county, and bring those involved to justice.
“We would also continue to encourage members of the public to report drug activity via 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111 – we will act on all information we receive.”
