Parfitt has been remanded into custody and is due to appear before Swindon Magistrates’ Court this morning (30 October).
A second individual, Tommy Belcher, 18, of Westbury Road, Penhill, has been charged with possession of cannabis. He has been bailed to appear before Swindon Magistrates’ Court on 20 November.
Two other individuals – a 40-year-old woman and a 36-year-old man – were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender. The woman has been bailed pending further enquiries, while the man has been released with no further action.
