POLICE officers smashed their way into a town centre flat after a concern for welfare call came in.
Two women were believed to be at risk at an address in Albert Road, Bournemouth, on Wednesday afternoon, August 28.
One witness said he saw two groups of police officers split between two entrances to a block of flats and “smash” their way through the doors.
Another added: “There was about six police officers that broke into the building and some of them were undercover.”
Two police cars were seen parked in Albert Road along with two police vans.
Dorset Police’s spokeswoman said the officers found there was no immediate risk to the welfare of the women.
She said: “Dorset Police received a report at 1.51pm on Wednesday 28 August 2024 raising concern for the welfare of two women in an address in Albert Road in Bournemouth.
“Officers attended, but there was no immediate risk of welfare concerns. Enquiries are continuing into the reported welfare concerns.”
