Two women have been arrested after drug raids in Chippenham today (Thursday).
Officers broke down the doors houses in Lords Mead and Conway Road in the early hours.
Wiltshire 999s previously reported that one person was in custody. However, Wiltshire Police has confirmed that two people have now been arrested.
Two women, aged 59 and 22, were arrested on suspicion of drugs and money laundering offences.
Around 20 cops were involved in the pre-planned operation, with police dogs assisting in the search of the addresses and vehicles parked outside them.
Acting inspector Jamie Ball said: “These warrants demonstrate our determination to disrupt drug activity and protect our communities.
“We rely on the support of the public and encourage anyone with concerns or information about drug activity to contact us. Every report helps us take action and keep our neighbourhoods safe.”
He continued: “We recognise that when it comes to drug-related activity, it can sometimes be frustrating for those who report concerns if it seems we do not act immediately.
“Rest assured, our officers carefully build up a clear picture before moving in, as these are often complex investigations that require detailed planning. Today’s action is an example of that process in practice.”
