Albany detectives execute drugs raid on Spencer Park home after public tip-offs

Public information led to a police raid on a home in Spencer Park last week. Officers descended on a house on Angove Road on Wednesday morning to execute a Misuse of Drugs Act search warrant. Neighbours said officers forced entry to the home before an extensive search of the property. Police used a drug detection dog and an assortment of equipment to search inside, outside and under the home. A female occupant was taken to Albany Health Campus as a precaution. Albany Detective Senior Constable Chris Macauley said the woman was discharged from hospital later that day. He said no charges had been laid but the investigation was ongoing. Sen. Const. Macauley said the raid showed that if police received verifiable information from members of the public, they would act on it. “We want to thank the general public for their ongoing support in relation to giving us information,” he said. “We just want to reinforce that we do act on information the public give us and we’ve come in numbers to act on the information that we received.”
