Arrests were made when police attended a suspected cannabis factory in Swindon.

At least seven police vehicles were seen parked outside a house on Cricklade Road from around 10.30am on Thursday morning (31 March).

Wiltshire Police was responding to a tip-off from a member of the public reporting that the property was being used for the production of drugs.

Officers appear to have forced entry into the address through a rear gate, before making three arrests.

The property, located between The Moonrakers pub and Penhill Drive junctions, appeared to sport a large extraction pipe – but it’s not clear if it is related to the suspected drugs factory.

The force confirmed that three men were arrested on suspicion of being involved in the production of cannabis.

They have since been released under investigation.

The house was guarded by police for the duration of Thursday whilst officers carried out enquiries and forensic investigation work at the scene.
