Yesterday afternoon, four individuals were arrested in Swindon following reports of a disorder.
Police responded to a call on Chickerall Road shortly after 4 pm, indicating a disturbance involving individuals armed with weapons.
Upon arrival, officers conducted thorough investigations that led to the search of an address in Buckhurst Crescent later that night. The search resulted in the confiscation of class-A drugs, cash, and weapons.
Four males, including a 16-year-old boy, a 17-year-old boy, a 19-year-old man, and a 42-year-old man, were arrested for various offences, including affray and possession with intent to supply class A drugs. All four individuals are currently in custody at Gablecross for questioning.
