SWINDON: December 30 proved a busy night for Wiltshire Police, with a total of 45 people going through custody in the space of 24 hours, 28 of whom were from Swindon. Charges for those arrested included assault and robbery.

Det Supt John of Wiltshire Police warned against others being caught out during the holiday period.

“A few people woke up in custody on Christmas Day across Wiltshire,” he said. “Please do not spend 2014 in the same way.”
