From February 27 to March 5, officers from the Force’s Fortitude Team, as well as the Roads Policing Unit and neighbourhood policing teams, worked together to shut down cross county drug networks which use mobile phones to supply drugs from large cities to towns and rural areas.
During the week, known as County Lines Intensification Week, police teams in the county carried out warrants on properties in Swindon, Bradford on Avon and Devizes, and a total of 15 arrests were made on suspicion of drugs offences, all men over 18.
