Police raided a house in Rodbourne that may have been used to grow cannabis.

Officers stood guard outside the address on Groves Street at around 2pm on Saturday.

There was a fairly sizeable police presence, with a crime scene investigation van parked nearby, a police car and van opposite the property, and another police car in an alley next to the terraced home.

No cordon was in place and the small amount of traffic on the residential street flowed without obstruction.

People in forensic white clothing were seen entering the house.

A Wiltshire Police spokesperson said: "Officers are currently in attendance at an address in Groves Street, Even Swindon, following a warrant at the property.

"On entering, it appears that the property had been used to cultivate suspected cannabis plants.

"A crime scene is currently in place while officers search the property and ensure it is made safe.

"Members of the public can report suspected drug cultivation or any other issues via our website https://www.wiltshire.police.uk/ro/report/"
