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).

“Your local Neighbourhood Team conducted a warrant under section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act at an address on Hudson Road, Malmesbury, yesterday, following concerns reported by the community.

“John Hunter, 58, of Hudson Road, has been charged with possession of a Class B drug and is due to appear at Swindon Magistrates Court later this month.”
