TWITTER users have reacted with anger after police tweeted a photo of two doors they broke down in Keighley during a drugs search.
The post was met with hundreds of shocked responses as police - who were acting on a warrant and searching for Class A drugs - admitted they found nothing in the raids.
Neighbourhood Policing Team officer Sergeant Dave Purcell's tweet said: “Another early start, another two doors forced in Highfield.
“This time a S23 Misuse of Drugs Act warrant in search of Class A controlled drugs.
“Nothing found on this occasion, however we will continue to proactively target those who peddle misery in our town.”
The post has so far attracted almost 500 responses.

One user said: "Forcing a door and finding nothing? Have WYP fixed the damage?", while another sarcastically added: "Great work lads, another door taken off the street".
Other users replied with: "You turn up in the early morning... found nothing but still saw fit to post it on social media and expect people to say well done?" and "If you'd done nothing it would have been a better use of your time."
West Yorkshire Police has been contacted for comment on the incident.
