VIDEO: Neighbourhood Policing Teams execute drugs warrant in Scarborough

The raid took place shortly before 9am at a property in Scarborough on Saturday morning (October 5).

A police spokesperson said on Facebook: “‘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, 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.”
