FIVE people were arrested on Tuesday morning after police carried out drugs warrants at two addresses in Eldene.

Officers from the local Community Policing Team attended an address in Stubsmead at approximately 7.40am to conduct a Section 23 Misuse of Drugs Act warrant.

Some class A drugs and drugs paraphernalia were located inside the premises after they searched the place.

A 15-year-old Swindon boy , a 53-year-old man, and a 47-year-old woman were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A drugs, while an 18-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession of a class B drug.

At a second address in Bowleymead, a 21-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession of a class B drug after police found a large amount of cash and cannabis inside the property.

All five suspects have been taken to Gablecross and remain in custody..

South Swindon community coordinator Philip Day said: "It's really important that members of the public feel confident in reporting suspected drug activity in their area to police so we can build an intelligence picture and act on the information we receive.

"We know how negatively drug activity can impact on a neighbourhood and we are committed to dealing with those engaged in this kind of criminality."

Enquiries are still ongoing. Anyone who suspects drug activity is happening in their area is encouraged to call police on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
