Police storm terrified couple's home after neighbors complain of baby crying!

LANCASHIRE, England - April 7, 2008 - Police were accused of being "heavy handed" today after four officers stormed a young couple's house at 3am - because a caller claimed their baby was crying.

Chef Leander Pomfret, 24, and his girlfriend Kimberley Walker, 18, woke up in the middle of the night to find the officers in their bedroom demanding to see their two month old daughter Bianca.

They then reduced Kimberley to tears by threatening to call social services.

They left after confirming Bianca was safe and well but Mr. Pomfret discovered their front door had been damaged when it was broken down during the dead of night raid. The bedroom door was also damaged.

Today, Mr. Pomfret vowed to make a formal complaint abut the incident and demanded Lancashire Police pay for the damage.

"The officers totally overreacted," he said. "Bianca may well have been crying but that is what babies do.

"It is no excuse for officers to bash down a door at 3am and storm our home. They claimed Bianca had been crying for up to six hours but that is impossible.

"Kimberley was in tears. We were made to feel as though we were unfit parents when the fact is we adore Bianca and tend to her every need."
