Two teenagers have been arrested after reports of threats to kill being made, Wiltshire Police said.

Officers said a moped seen leaving the area was followed by a police drone to an address where two boys, aged 16 and 17, were arrested.

The 16-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of threats to kill and threats to destroy and damage property, while the 17-year-old was arrested on suspicion of the possession of cannabis and possession of a bladed article in a public area.

Both remain in custody for questioning.
