Officers investigating an allegation of domestic abuse visited the address in Stratton Road this morning - 3 November.

While searching the house they found a number of items including bags of what is believed to be cannabis, around £3,000 in cash, and expensive trainers and clothing.

A 27-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of stalking with fear of violence, malicious communications, criminal damage and possession with intent to supply Class B drugs.

He is currently in custody at Gablecross Police Station.

PC Kayne Borresen, from the Swindon Area Community Policing Team, said: “We had initially visited this address this morning as part of a separate investigation, but when we searched the property we discovered evidence relating to the supply of illegal drugs.

“The suspect has been arrested in connection with a number of offences, and we will continue our enquiries.”
