Armed police this morning raided a Northland house, in a suspected drug bust.
The normally quiet beachside area of Coopers Beach, 34km north east of Kaitaia, was transformed with the invasion of at least 10 police cars and blacked-clad Armed Offenders Squad members from about 6.30am.
One neighbour, who did not want to be named, said: "We were waiting for this day."
Neighbours dressed in dressing gowns peered out of their driveways to witness the incident.
One woman could be heard yelling obscenities at police.
