00:00Before my foot even dreamed to reach the ground, his door pulled open and I locked everything.
00:07The policewoman ran into me and the next police.
00:11I turned and said, excuse me.
00:13The man said, shut up!
00:15Ms Melville said her kitchen and living room were also searched.
00:20Her three children, ages 6, 10 and 12, were asleep in their rooms at the time.
00:26Then the police officer asked me, over there is my kitchen and my joint room.
00:31When I looked, he said, where is the key?
00:33I said, look, it's hanging on the lock right there.
00:35He did take it off and he opened.
00:37When he opened it, I saw the police running inside my kitchen and my joint room.
00:42And they're only hearing, go on, go on, go on.
00:45So when I go to say, excuse me again, the officer from holding the key, shut up! Shut up!
00:51Melville said she was not told by the lawman the reason for the search.
00:56Now, Ms Melville, at any time during the search, did officers indicate why their presence?
01:04No. No, they did not ask me why they come to search for nothing.
01:11Is this the first time officers came to your home?
01:15Yes, this is the first time I experienced police searching my home.
01:19Senior police officers, when contacted, told TV6 News Ms Melville was told the search was for illegal firearms and dangerous drugs.
01:28Officers told TV6 News this is not the first time officers had caused to visit the home of Ms Melville.
