A VULNERABLE woman's home in Amesbury was being used by wanted drug dealers.

Concerns were raised about a house in Redworth Drive, Archers Gate, following reports of dealing class A and B drugs and anti-social behaviour.

Wiltshire Police said wanted offenders were staying at the address and cuckooing the tenant.

Cuckooing is an exploitative practice where people take over a vulnerable person's home and use it for criminal activities.
