THESE photos capture the dramatic moments officers battered their way into a Worcester flat as part of a drugs raid.
Both prohibited weapons (an imitation firearm and knuckledusters) and traces of cannabis were found as police executed a warrant at three addresses in Avon Road, Tolladine, Worcester this morning.
A man was also cautioned for possession of cannabis. One man was handcuffed as a precaution but was not charged with any offence.
The raids have been welcomed by the community after officers acted on intelligence that dealers had beens selling drugs to children.
PC Allan Figueiredo, who co-ordinated the warrants, wants other people to come forward with information about potential dealing so they can work to keep Worcester's communities safe.
