Two arrests for alleged sex offences after police raid at industrial estate firm
Two people suspected of sex offences are in custody after police raided a business at a Swindon industrial estate.
Officers, a specialist search team, and forensic investigators visited a business on the Transfer Bridges Industrial Estate near the busy double roundabout on Wednesday morning.
A police cordon was in place for much of the day, and it has since been removed.
A Wiltshire Police spokesperson said: "We have arrested two men following the execution of a warrant at Transfer Bridges Industrial Estate, Swindon, on June 18.

"The men, aged 71 and 53, have been arrested in connection with an investigation into sex offences, and they have been taken into custody for questioning.
"We have set up a scene at the estate while further enquiries are carried out."
The exact nature of the alleged offences, and the identity of the two men, are not yet known and likely will not be revealed until the point that Wiltshire Police are in a position to charge either or both of the men.
Businesses near the one raided by police were open and trading as normal.
