A suspect has been arrested after more than 100 nitrous oxide canisters were found at an address.
Officers investigating seized a vehicle on October 8, after it was initially found to be driving with no insurance.
Police then searched the car and located a number of pills believed to be illegal drugs.
The man aged 26 was subsequently arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A drugs.
A search warrant was then authorised to search the suspect’s address in Royal Wootton Bassett.
Wiltshire Police’s Royal Wootton Bassett team five conducted the search on Sunday and found and seized 130 nitrous oxide canisters at the address and another connected vehicle.
The man has now been further arrested on suspicion of supplying, or offering to supply, a psychoactive substance.
He has been released under investigation while enquiries continue.
Acting Police Sergeant Ian Woodward said: “The law states it is legal to possess nitrous oxide but illegal to sell it, and it’s used by people seeking a high at great risk to their personal health.
“Members of the Royal Wootton Bassett community have been informing us of several sites where used nitrous oxide canisters have been left behind.
“We are taking this issue and reports seriously and will seek to prosecute anyone involved.”
Under Section 5 of the Psychoactive Substances Act 2016, it is against the law to supply a psychoactive substance and offering to supply a psychoactive substance.
