Drone footage shows the moment police raided a house linked to a drugs gang suspected of selling heroin and cocaine.
Six people, including one from Merseyside, were arrested during the raids which saw police swoop on nine addresses across North Wales as part of Operation Finch, a regional drug supply investigation.
The operation was carried out by North Wales Police and Merseyside Police and was mainly focused in the Caia Park area of Wrexham.

Cash and drugs were seized and six people were arrested including one from Merseyside, on suspicion of conspiracy to supply class A drugs, including heroin and cocaine.
A further two arrests were made at the properties in relation to unconnected matters, North Wales Live reports.
The warrants follow previous operations in the area, which saw a considerable number of drugs, illicit cash and criminal property taken off the streets.
Wrexham Town Inspector Luke Hughes said: “I hope today’s action once again shows beyond any doubt that we are committed to addressing the menace of drugs in our town.
“Our focus is and always has been on organised crime, those who seek to exploit the community for their own financial gain.
“The supply of cocaine and heroin brings violence and misery.
“Those involved have no regard for those who consume their product, for its purity or what it’s cut with and they don’t care if it comes into the possession of a child or someone vulnerable.
“They certainly don’t have any regard for the impact it has those lives through the misery it will certainly cause.”
He added: “Drug supply in Wrexham will not be tolerated and you will be caught. Your day will come.”
Insp Hughes said the raids came following a “cultural change” in the area, with more people prepared to speak out about concerns in their community.
He said: “It’s primarily focused on the work the neighbourhood policing team are doing.
“We’ve got good connections in the community. People trust us and want to help us – people are sick of drugs in their communities.
“As a result of that work, we’re able to execute warrants like this today.”
