Three people including a teenage girl were arrested over possession of a gun and Class A drugs during a dramatic police raid in Chessington yesterday (November 13).
Police said they attended a property on Mount Road in Chessington early on Wednesday morning (November 13), around 7.20am.
They arrived with a Dangerous Dog warrant.
Two of the three people inside the property at the time were arrested for obstructing police among a host of other reasons.
All three people arrested, one of whom was a 16-year-old girl, were also taken into custody "for Possession of a Firearm".
The dog, which was described as "a Pit Bull type dog", was also seized by officers during the raid.
