The video compilation begins with a vehicle pursuit through the dark.
It then shows a number of officers running by foot.
Another clip taken from an officer’s body camera, timestamped at 5.35am on March 6, shows them taking a saw to one of the addresses in question. Another officer then rams the door open and a number of colleagues enter the address.
It finishes with another clip, timestamped just one minute later at another Newport address.
