Pictures reveal filthiest house officers have ever seen during police raid

Pictures taken during a police raid reveal the horrors officers found in what they have described as one of the filthiest houses ever seen – including bags of human faeces hung from doors.

On Friday, two men were arrested in a sudden raid on a house on Berkeley Street, Hull, for alleged drug dealing.

Ten officers in specialist forensic equipment entered the property to search for drugs after breaking the door down but found floor to ceiling waste.

Officers were only able to search the ground floor of the semi-detached house as years of decay had made the stairs too dangerous to use.

They were eventually able to find ‘numerous’ amounts of drugs including cannabis and several unknown tablets.

But during the search the officers also found a shocking amount of waste covering the majority of the house.

Bags of human waste were found hanging off the backs of doors, as well as clear signs of a lice infestation throughout.

Four cars were found in the garden including a classic Rolls Royce which was covered in rubbish.

PC Scott Greenwood said: ‘This is one of the worst houses the officers have ever been to.

‘I think only one of them had said they had seen worse than this.’

Officers were told that the two men who lived in the property would sleep on a chair downstairs as they could not reach the bedrooms.

The property is a privately owned house which has been in the same family for over 30 years and has fallen into disarray.

The house had been searched several times over the last 15 years and on one visit officers discovered a dead dog in the freezer.

Several residents on Berkeley Street said they had repeatedly complained about drug dealing on the street which they believed stemmed from the house.

PC Greenwood added: ‘This is a great outcome for us. Not only have we secured and closed a house but we have two in custody and found drugs.

‘It’s a great feeling to know we have done our job for the community and sorted what has been a problem for them for years.’

Officers from Hull City Council sealed the property and it is expected to be boarded up in the coming weeks.
