Drugs raid in Flintshire this morning captured on police bodycam footage

Video footage from a police bodycam captured the moment officers smash through the door of a house as they execute a warrant under the Misuse of Drugs Act in Flintshire this morning, July 4.

The video shows officers enter the house in Mold after the front door was ‘opened’ with what police call their ‘Big Red Key’.
