Call of Duty-style police footage shows suspected drug dealer being arrested in his pants at 3am
Dramatic body-worn footage shows armed cops swoop on a suspected drug dealer in his pants in a 3am house raid.
Three men and two women were arrested on suspicion of drug dealing after officers searched two homes. The warrants took place in the early hours of Tuesday in a police crackdown on drug dealing.
Footage shows armed officers aiming their assault rifles at the male suspect who stood in the kitchen in his underpants.
One cop shouts at the man: “Armed police! Come to the front door and show me your hands.”
While being handcuffed, the man asks officers: “Can I get some trousers on?” before being led to a police van.
Police seized drugs, cash and phones from the raid, which was in Chesterfield, Derbyshire.
Det Insp Rob Nicholls, of Derbyshire Constabulary, said: “These warrants were just part of our ongoing work to disrupt serious and organised criminality in Derbyshire.
“I hope that enforcement action like this sends a message to anyone involved or thinking of getting involved in this kind of activity that we will take action and do all we can to ensure perpetrators are brought to justice. We’d encourage anyone with any information on drug dealing to please contact us and report it.”
The five suspects have since been released under investigation as enquiries continue.
