Following an incident involving a suspicious device outside Salisbury Law Courts on the 3rd of August 2022, Wiltshire Police are appealing for people in the area who may have seen or heard something to come forward.

The police are particularly looking for people who were walking or driving along Wilton Road near the Law Courts and the Medical Centre between 12.30am and 1.30am on the 3rd of August.

The device was found later that morning and was confirmed to not be a viable device.

A Wiltshire Police spokesperson said, “If you may have seen or heard something, please contact us on 101 quoting reference 54220081545.”
