A closure order has been secured by Swindon Police against A Style Barbers in Manchester Road.

The move follows an operation in which officers from the Central Swindon South NPT, assisted by Police Dog Bracken, carried out two simultaneous warrants at the premises and a property in Highworth in relation to money laundering and drug supply.
A police spokesperson said: "A significant quantity of drugs, plus cash and high value luxury goods, were seized.
"A three-month closure order for the premises has now been granted due to the links with organised criminality.
"The order is part of ‘Brighter Broadgreen’ – our ongoing multi-agency work in the Broadgreen area of Swindon to improve the area.
"We will continue to work with our partners and the residents of Broadgreen to clear criminality from the area and make it a safer and more pleasant place for all."
