A man was arrested and suspected cannabis and weapons seized during a raid at a house in Frome last week.

Frome Neighbourhood team carried out a successful warrant on an address in Frome on Monday 5 August with the help of special units.

A man in his 30s was arrested on suspicion of possessing cannabis with intent to supply and possession of an offensive weapon.

He was later released under investigation pending further enquiries.

Among the weapons seized were Samurai-style swords and a knife with a 40cm blade.

Acting Sergeant Emily Brown said: "We understand that drug dealing and the crime and anti-social behaviour associated with it can blight our communities.

"We're always grateful for information about drug crime and taken any reports seriously, but it can sometimes take time to get the evidence we need to get a warrant from the court."
