A man has been arrested after cannabis worth £15,000 was seized.

Officers stopped a vehicle at approximately 6.30pm on Friday on the A429 near Malmesbury.

A 45-year-old man from Corsham was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of class B drugs.

Following his arrest, an address in Corsham and an address in Kemble were searched and officers located cannabis with a street value of approximately £15,000. Around £3,500 cash was also found.

Inspector James Brain from Wiltshire Police said: "This was an excellent example of proactive policing by all officers involved. Following the vehicle stop, we conducted searches at two addresses linked to the individual and seized a significant amount of cannabis and cash.

"The man arrested has since been released under investigation while further enquiries are carried out.

"Drug use and supply can often lead to further issues including anti-social behaviour and violent crime so it is vital that any members of our community who suspect drug activity in their neighbourhood report it so we can take action."
