If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to go on a dawn raid then wonder no more.

The West Midlands Police have released a video showing a recent early-morning crackdown filmed as part of its blitz on criminals across Birmingham and the Black Country.

The footage was published yesterday and puts viewers right at the heart of the action.

Seven people were arrested during the raids and are being held on suspicion of conspiracy to supply controlled drugs.

Further raids are expected to be taking place in the coming months.
