Police chainsaw into Halloween-decorated property during raid
This was the moment police sawed their way into a Halloween-decorated home during a series of early-morning drug raids near Stourbridge.
Three men were arrested after Class-A and Class-B drugs were seized from five properties on Jubilee Drive in Lye earlier today (October 28).
Footage of one raid showed officers using a power saw to slice their way into a property which had ghost props hanging from its front door and a carved pumpkin at the entrance.
