“I’ve got a baby,” a woman cried inside a Bristol home as police smashed through the front door this morning (March 27).

A number of officers descended on the property in heavy rain at 9am today, as part of two drugs raids taking place in south Bristol.

“Get your hands off me, I want a cigarette,” the woman, still in her pyjamas, shouted as police began searching the premises.

It was not long until they found multiple knives - including a large zombie knife.

An XL bully could be heard barking loudly as police continued their search at the house in Knowle West, with a sniffer dog also taken into the property.

The woman later stood on the doorstep to smoke her cigarette, while her children looked in shock at their damaged front door.

A number of suspected stolen items, including more than 20 bikes, a significant quantity of power tools, clothing and jewellery, were also seized. Efforts to identify the owners of these items are now underway.
