A Scots family claim their house was raided by police and their 20-year-old son was handcuffed before officers realised they had made a mistake.
The Wieckowski family, who live on Cowan Terrace in Penicuik, had their front door broken down by officers at 9.30am on Tuesday, September 12.
Police said they were executing a search warrant on the property but the family living there said officers were mistaken and had the wrong people.
Dad Marcin Wieckowski says one of his sons, 20, was left "shaking" after being handcuffed for "almost an hour", Edinburgh Live reports.
Marcin said: "It was about 9.30am in the morning, and around 20 officers and three big vans showed up to raid our house.
“They totally broke our door and left the pieces. “They put my 20-year-old son in handcuffs before they realised they had made a mistake. He was terrified and shaking.
“They could’ve knocked before they slammed the door. My neighbour said to them, listen you must be at the wrong address because they are a normal family.
“My wife was at work but she got home before me and there were only two or three officers there by then. We explained that it was a mistake, and showed them some letters to prove that it was.
"It’s a small community and we saw how people were looking.
“My other son said loads of kids were asking him what was going on.
“All the neighbours were looking, wondering what had happened. I don’t want us to be the strange Polish family who were raided by the police."
It is understood police are making arrangements to replace the door that was damaged during the raid.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Around 9.25am on Tuesday, 12 September, 2023, officers executed a search warrant at an address in Cowan Terrace, Penicuik.
