Police found cash and drugs at the home in Chippenham

Three men have been arrested after police seized £40,000 in cash and 1kg of cocaine from a home.

About 8kg of methamphetamines were also found by Wiltshire Police during a search of a property in Ryan Avenue, Chippenham.

The house was searched after officers were alerted to a vehicle linked with suspicious activity, with the address found through the car's insurance details.

Police said the three men, aged 54, 45 and 19, were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs, with two of the men also arrested on suspicion of money laundering. They have been taken into custody.
