A man has been charged and named after police raided a house in Malmesbury.
Officers smashed their way into an address in Hudson Road on Monday morning (8 September) following reports from the local community about potential drug activity.
The occupant, a man aged in his 50s, was arrested after an illegal substance was found.
The suspect – 58-year-old John Hunter – has since been charged with possession of a Class B drug.
He is due to appear before Swindon Magistrates’ Court at a later date, and has been released on bail.
A Wiltshire Police spokesperson said: “We have charged a man following a warrant in Malmesbury yesterday morning (September 8).
