Channel 13’s Aaron Brilbreck brought you the story first on Monday after being contacted by Justin Ross. Ross says Ankeny police used a battering ram to force their way into his mother’s home to search for suspects accused of using stolen credit cards to buy clothes and electronics.

A closed circuit television camera installed outside the home was ripped out by one of the officers and another inside the home was covered up during the execution of the search warrant.

Two people in the home were arrested on unrelated charges during the incident.
