Around 15 West Mercia Police officers were involved in the warrant, part of Operation Gigawatt. The front and back of the three properties were secured to prevent any drugs being disposed of while PC Glenn Rees and police dog Waffle were instrumental in the search for cannabis. For some police veterans the raid followed a routine with which they were all too familiar but for one, PC Liam Hulbert, it was his first time on a warrant after joining the force as part of a graduate scheme. The big red key crashed through the door of 16A which broke into splinters as shouts of police! echoed through the flat s hallway. Officers ran up a steep, narrow flight of stairs with shouts of alarm and surprise coming from within.
In June of this year, the small community of Little Africa in northern Spartanburg County found itself in the middle of the local news cycle amid nationwide protests for racial justice when swastikas and racial slurs were discovered on the neighborhood s signs, guardrails, and bridges. Things gonna change. It don t come when you want it to come, but God gonna let it change, Cora Martin of Little Africa told the Spartanburg Herald-Journal in July, not long after the vandalism had been cleaned up by the community.
And things definitely have changed in the five months since then. The community hasn t seen any more vandalism, but there s still mixed morale, according to resident Sundra Proctor Smith.
