Three unmarked armed police vehicles arrived in the street, with the team quickly making access and detaining a man aged in his 40s at the scene.

The suspect was taken away in a police van, while firearms officers removed a crossbow, crossbow bolts and what is thought to be an air rifle from the property.

Wiltshire Police has today (Monday) confirmed that David Bartlett, 45, of Jenkins Street, Trowbridge, has since been charged with making threats to kill.

He has been remanded into custody and is due to appear at Salisbury Magistrates’ Court today.
