Two people who were arrested in a series of police raids have been released by police.

A woman in her 30s arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm has been released with no further action, while a woman in her 40s arrested for being involved in dealing class A drugs has been bailed.

Neighbours were left “worried” after Wiltshire Police carried out raids in Eastmere, Liden, Feather Wood, West Lea, and The Circle in Pinehurst yesterday morning, November 28.

A neighbour in Eastmere said at the time: “We heard all this banging and woke up to see police lights, then we saw police had smashed a door down.

“People are really worried, they want to know what's going on because we don't feel too good about it.(Image: Public contribution)

“Most of the neighbours are elderly and there are families too, it’s been really horrible because normally we’re a nice neighbourhood.”

Police also seized £2,500 in cash, phone and sim cards.

A Wiltshire Police spokesperson said then: “We executed three warrants in Eastmere, Liden, Feather Wood, West Lea, and The Circle in Pinehurst this morning (28/11).

“Two people were arrested, a woman in her 30s on suspicion of grievous bodily harm, and a woman in her 40s on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs.”
