A man has been arrested over alleged child abuse images after a raid in Malmesbury.
Officers visited a house in Old Alexander Road at around 9am this morning (Tuesday).
Neighbours said there was a “large police presence and a dog handler” on scene.
Officers reportedly also attended a second property in the street, linked to the same suspect.
Searches were carried out at both locations and items seized, it’s claimed.
Wiltshire Police confirmed that a 21-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession of indecent images of children and possession of extreme images.
He has been taken into custody for questioning.
Please note: Prior to a charge, a suspect cannot be named (except for in very specific circumstances). Before a charge is authorised, a suspect has the right to privacy – and naming them at this stage could result in prosecution. If and when we can confirm a charge, the suspect will be named – unless a court order prevents this.
