ARMED police stormed a home in Calne this morning in a dawn drugs raid.

Calne cops raided the home in Dixon Way and found a stash of what is believed to be Class A drugs and a substantial amount of cash.

Officers arrested a male in his 30s who is in custody waiting to be interviewed.

Sgt Phil Connors, of Calne Police said: "We will always act upon any information received about the use of drugs in Calne.

"I can assure residents that any information they give us will be acted upon.

"We urge anyone who knows of drug dealing or users in the town to contact either Wiltshire Police on 0845 408 7000.

Good to see the police having success against the pushers who peddle drugs.
Lets just hope the courts lock the people involved away for a long time

"We will always act upon any information received about the use of drugs in Calne." That might be true, but how long does it take to get any action. I reported some neighbours dealing in drugs from their flat in calne. Subsequent conversations with calne police resulted in nothing happening for months, even then, the flat was raided by the police, nothing found (just hyperdermics,) the people were back dealing again within a few days. It took a letter/email to chief of police before any action was taken on the dealers. The Dealers have since moved on to another part of Wiltshire and more than likely still dealing.

The only reason the country is awash with druggies is because the NuLabour Loonies have destroyed real policing and Police Forces.

its got nothing to do with a march into afghanistan buy a nato collective force. before afghanistan was invaded it was ruled buy the taliban who stopped farmers with brutal way from producing opium. since afghjanistan was invaded opium production has risen year upon year this is a global problem and very sophisticated in operation calne problem is a drop in the ocean. open your eyes its everywere.

The penalties drug dealers get are pittyful and yet the rewards can be high no wonder they are not detered by the odd police raid.
Westlea should evict all tennants responsible for dealing and the courts should be banging them up each and everytime they are caught
