Jail for drug dealer who trafficked three teens

Kyum Raham, 23, from Swindon, groomed the teenagers online before using them to sell drugs.

Officers visited the Sakura Therapy Centre following "valuable information from the community".

The Environment Agency says nearly 7,000 fish have been added to rivers, lakes and ponds.

The plan is being discussed at Wiltshire and Swindon's Police and Crime Panel meeting on Thursday.

Police say it is "frankly shocking" that so many drivers were caught speeding on a single road.
