Police have made four arrests and spent the day forensically searching a large farmhouse in Cricklade following a pursuit which ended in Swindon yesterday evening.

There’s been a large police presence at the property on Chelworth Road since two-hour police chase, but a specialist search team were called in to comb the house this morning.

Detectives and investigators could be seen sitting outside the property labelling and bagging evidence as a uniformed police officer guarded the entrance to Pear Tree Farm.
