Police Release Scarborough Drugs Raid Video

Scarborough and Eastfield’s Neighbourhood Policing Teams took part in the raid on Saturday.

Police in Scarborough have released video of an early morning drugs raid which took place on Saturday morning.

In a post on social media officers said:

“Police with taser!” is not the call you want to be woken up with at 8:55am on a Saturday morning. However, this was the case for a 43-year-old Scarborough man this morning, as officers from Scarborough and Eastfield’s Neighbourhood Policing Teams bashed their way in to his address.
Executing a warrant at an address in the town, officers made a swift arrest of the suspect in relation to drug offences. The resident is currently in custody as the investigation is ongoing.

Coast Command Neighbourhood Chief Inspector Lucy McNeill said,

“Community intelligence is key in obtaining our warrants. I would like to thank our residents for providing information. Today, we have arrested a suspect, concerned in the supply of Class A drugs. As shown this morning, we will take robust action. Our communities are talking, we are listening.”
