A car has been seized by the military outside a police station in north Wiltshire.

Police officers have cordoned off part of the car park at Monkton Park in Chippenham as army personel worked to wrap and remove a vehicle as part of their nerve agent investigation.

It is believed that the vehicle being seized is either an unmarked police car, or belongs to a police officer who responded to the Amesbury incident.

A spokesperson said: “We have arranged the transportation of a car from Monkton Park in Chippenham in relation to the on-going incident in Amesbury.

“The public should not be alarmed by this and there is no risk to any visitors to the site.

“Those involved in the removal of the vehicle have the necessary training and expertise to carry out a variety of tasks, which includes the safe removal of vehicles.

“We want to make it clear that there is no cordon in place and once the vehicle has been removed, police will leave the scene and it will be open to the public as normal.”
