Crossbow seized as police storm Bedford homes amid cuckooing fears

Police seized this crossbow from an address on Friday (January 27).

It was retrieved after officers visited two addresses – one in Brickhill and one in Queen’s Park – over safeguarding fears.

Police received intel two vulnerable people were being cuckooed – which is when a home is taken over to establish an illegal drug dealing base.

At one address, this crossbow was seized, while at the other, officers dealt with a man for drug offences.
