Teenage drug dealer tries to flee from police in his pants in body-cam footage

Dramatic body-cam footage shows the moment a teenage drug dealer was arrested in his pants after he tried to flee from police by jumping from a bedroom window.

Officers raided the property in the Sandwell area of the West Midlands as part of a week-long blitz on drug dealing across the region.

Body-worn video cameras captured the moment officers stormed the address before finding a 17-year-old suspect hiding on the roof.

In total 143 people were arrested during the operation on suspicion of running cannabis, crack cocaine and heroin supply networks.
