There were arrests at Swindon Magistrates Court and Gablecross Police Station following incidents at the two locations.

Officers attended Swindon Magistrates Court this morning - 21 March - following a reported disturbance involving a number of people, and a man was arrested on suspicion of breach of the peace.
A further arrest of someone associated with the same group was made at Gablecross Police Station on suspicion of using abusive language directed at a member of police staff.
Both suspects are currently in police custody.
Swindon Hub Commander Supt Lucy Thorne said: “We will not tolerate any abusive language or behaviour directed at our staff - who are here to serve the public.
"It is unacceptable We will not hesitate to deal with anyone engaging in such activity swiftly and robustly.”
