The raid took place at Third Avenue, West Thurrock, when Essex Police's operational support group executed a warrant under section 23 of the misuse of drugs act.

Entry members of the operational group forced the door of the property Thurrock police officers entered and initiated a search and seized a total of 60 exhibits that ranged from suspected class B and A drugs, weapons and what they believe to be a CS canister.
