One witness told The Courier: “Out of nowhere came a convoy of police vehicles blocking a section of Cross Street in Dysart.
“Moments later, two teams of police dressed in overalls wearing helmets and carrying riot shields – as well as a number of other uniformed officers – got out of the vans and went straight inside the block of flats.
“I saw them then smash through the door of a flat on the second floor of the block before they rushed in.

“It’s a shock to see so many police. It’s clearly a raid of some kind.”
