Have you ever witnessed a police raid?

[wolterswo]

describe it and give context

Even in the wealthy areas? Genine q

Say if you were having private time when they stormed in!

Would be even better if you were the person sawing the door in

Luckily no. It was summer so the window was cracked, and they just pushed it open. They had a ladder against the wall and everything

They dropped and left him?!!

I hope you sued!

What were they after him for?

Yeah we had one (wrong address) it was terrifying its not how you want to be woken up its very loud and very fast

They were after the neighbour. I still remember his name (won’t say it).

I think he was dealing drugs, stealing from
shops and had a history of violence

Did they pay for door replacement

Yes, lunchtime on a suburban cul de sac, about 12 officers in 2 vans with drugs dogs and one of the big massive red things to ram the door down. They pulled up the drain cover to trap anything the residents tried to flush. Once the shouting and commotion had died down, they were there for about 2 hours, presumably searching.

Occupants charged with possession of Class A with intent to supply, case went to court and fell apart as they each blamed each other.

Was the final straw and our house went on the market shortly after.

A guy and his girlfriend then?

At medical school we all had to go and interview a patient at home. Mine was miles away and difficult to get to on public transport. On the long walk from the station I walked past several burnt out cars which kind of set the scene.

Went to patient's house, he was lovely. Interview was halted when police turned up to arrest everyone in the house opposite.

Patient wasn't fazed, said it happened regularly.

OH MY GOD.
The repeat OP obsessed with police raids, doors being broken down and what police women wear for police raids is back!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry?

Yes, armed police on my house.
They're nasty fuckers.

I did actually, my neighbours got raided in a dawn raid and I was out taking the dog for a wee. Police everywhere and I was asked to go back inside

Did you know them?

You heard.

I'm sorry, what exactly are you asking this poster?!

Yes I was sitting in a kebab shop having being dumped by my boyfriend . Just staring out of the window tucking into my donner when 10 armed police jumped out of a van and knocked the door of the flat above the takeaway down. They arrested 3 people on drug offences and immigration enforcement also showed up. At that point all the staff from the kebab shop disappeared. I sat in the shop till the police disappeared them opened the back door and let the staff know that they could come back to work.

I was walking around city at 5am with a load of other swim parents (as you do!)

Walked down a road about 5.30am and there was a few police in inform, few plain clothes and they were holding a red battering ram.

From the aroma usually coming from that area I’d assume they were about to do a drugs raid?!

What is a dodgey area?

Twice, one as I lived just beside a guy who threw a fireworks with coins into an MPs office and there was a raid and the bomb squad there for most of the day.
the other was just a drug raid

Didn't you mention dodgey areas earlier on this thread?
