'While inquiries to locate and speak with those involved are ongoing, police are confident criminal charges will result from today's seizures.”

Ok are you telling me they raided the house with no occupants in there. And now there are looking for them, if this is true then we have the most useless police force on the planet. My good how dumb are they. Wouldnt you have intel to let them know that the offenders are in there this will work better for them in a court of law catching them red handed.
