POLICE officers swooped on a property in Toothill this morning in what appears to have been a pre-planned raid.

Residents reported seeing six or seven police vehicles arrive at an address in Deerhurst Way at around 7.30am.

A dog handler and firearms officers were among them.

Officers emerged from the property shortly after 10am carrying handfuls of sealed evidence bags which were loaded into a vehicle and driven away.

A spokesman for Wiltshire Police confirmed that a 45-year-old man and a 32-year-old woman, both local, were arrested in relation to an on-going operation.

Both suspects are being held in custody.
