Video: Suspected drug dealer answers door in his pants to find armed police in 3am crackdown raid
Dramatic bodycam footage captured armed police 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 addresses in Chesterfield.
The police raids took place in the early hours of Tuesday, January 20, in a police crackdown on drug dealing.
Footage captured armed officers aiming their assault rifles at the male suspect, who was stood in the kitchen in his underpants.
While being handcuffed, the man asked officers: “Can I get some trousers on?” before being led to a police van.
Police seized drugs, cash and phones.
Detective Inspector 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.
