Two men have been charged with drug offences after police raided an address in Calne.

Officers found approximately £12,620 with of cocaine and upwards of £16,000 worth of cannabis at the property in Linnet Road, Calne, last March.

With the help of specialist search teams, a stun gun and more than £12,000 in cash were located.

Ieuan Davies, 31, of Sidney Wood Court, Chippenham, has been charged with being concerned in the supply of cocaine, supply of cannabis and possession of criminal property.

Michael Purchase, 30, of Halifax Road, Bowerhill, Melksham, has been charged with being concerned in the supply of cocaine, supply of cannabis, possession of criminal property and possession of a firearm.

Both men are due to appear at Swindon Magistrates Court tomorrow (December 13).

Sgt Nick Kelly said: “A significant amount of drugs which had the potential to cause significant harm within our communities, alongside a large amount of cash were found following this warrant last year and a lengthy investigation has been ongoing since.

“I am pleased charges have been authorised in relation to these two individuals.”
