No-one was arrested as a result of either search.
A Dorset Police spokesman said: “It’s an ongoing investigation and no information will be released to the media at this time.”
Earlier on Saturday night the helicopter helped in the arrest of three men after police were called to a burglary in progress in Kinson.
