Green lasers, growling dogs and armed cops in balaclavas pointing guns, threatening to shoot.

Yet when officers stormed a family home Birmingham, it was a 'complete f*** up!'

Firearms officers surrounded the property of Jeff Tasleen and his family's home in Balsall Heath at 3.45am on Thursday.

Police completely boxed off Beaconsfield Road as units bashed down the WRONG front door.

And furious father Jeff feared for his family's life after him and his elder brother were wrongfully handcuffed by West Midlands Police.

His children were left in floods of tears while his 60-year-old mother was trembling with fear.

The 44-year-old told BirminghamLive : "Listen, it was horrendous for us all.

"Barking dogs, around 20 armed officers with balaclavas on, all this at 4am.

"You had green lights pointing at the house, guns aimed right at me. All it takes is one error in a split second and someone could pull a trigger.

"It was ridiculous, police completely boxed off the road. There must have been 13 vehicles.

"I was in handcuffs, it was f****** horrible. I felt sick. The women and babies were petrified.

"Innocent people are victims here and, you know what, police were so full-headed about it.

"It was a complete f*** up. How can you make a cock up targeting a three-bed terraced house, what's the need to be so heavy-handed?

"They could have shot my teenage son or brother, or a woman protecting their child maybe.

"It was a very, very, extremely close incident, as fine as a hair. Police were bullish and intimidating, even afterwards.

"They wouldn't let us out and kept us in the back of a police car handcuffed for about an hour.

"It was pathetic. They couldn't even raid the correct door.

"Police even had pictures of the house they were supposed to raid, absolute incompetence.

'It was like a movie set outside our front door'

"You had 15 vehicles marked and plain, the whole neighbourhood witnessed this. It was very embarrassing and distressing."

The dad-of-six added: "It was like a movie set outside our front door, the women were all shaken up and kids crying. It was wrong, totally wrong."

The pre-planned raid, according to West Midlands Police, was carried out in relation to a County Lines drugs network.

The force admitted the blunder but Jeff's brother, who didn't want to be named, said "police need to get the basics right".

"It was pure stupidity, damaging to us and a complete waste of police resources," said the 35-year-old, who lives at the same address.

"I got up at 2.45am as it's Ramadan. We had some food and did prayer and went back to bed.

"Then, all you heard was shouting, screaming and banging. It's our family home and we had flashlights, lasers pointing at our windows.

"I got up and they'd already smashed in one door, shouting 'Get out! Get out! Come quickly! Don't move! Hands up, hands up!'

"They didn't even let me get my shoes on and marched me down in handcuffs barefooted before shoving me in a car.

"Police literally flooded the road, there were vans, dog units, marked and unmarked police cars.

"Officers kept saying where is so and so? I just said I've never heard of him, what's going on?

"We've got a warrant, we're allowed to do what we want, they kept saying.

"Then my brother was being marched out, all this as the women and children watched on screaming and crying."

The angry dad-of-two, who has young children aged two and three, added: "The kids were hysterical, it was horrible and terrible for our family.

"I kept thinking what have we done?

"All this and, when they barged our door down, the one they were looking for could have hid a stash of whatever.

"They realised their blunder after about five to 10 minutes, we've got the wrong person and wrong house one of them said.

"That was after my wife pointed out our house number and then the penny dropped.

'I had episode of Line of Duty flashing in my brain'

"They were so embarrassed and just kept looking at each other. All the neighbours were scared as well.

"Police need to get the basics right, this was a playground schoolboy error. Someone could have got hurt or worse killed.

"I had that episode of Line of Duty flashing in my brain where a man was holding a baby and cops shot him because they thought he had a gun.

"Raids like this can go seriously wrong.

"I'd understand if it was a block of flats they went to but this was a house with a numbered front door, just how?

"My 60-year-old mum was trembling with fear, really upset. My wife was shaken up and my mind was just going into overdrive.

"It was pure stupidity on the police's part."

Sarah Burton, Superintendent at Birmingham Police, admitted the error - and said the force will pay for damage to the wrong door smashed in.

"Officers initially forced entry to the next-door terraced property in error and detained two men," she said, referencing Mr Tasleen and his brother.

"They were quickly released once the mistake was identified and neither were injured.

"We have apologised to the men and other residents at the address and appreciate this would have been a distressing experience.

"West Midlands Police will obviously pay for damage to the door at the address.

"Incidents like this are very rare.

"We will thoroughly debrief the incident to understand exactly what happened and take steps to ensure it’s not repeated."

Supt Burton, meanwhile, admitted colleagues did successfully arrest a 22-year-old suspect from a different address a short time later.

She added: "Officers executed a warrant at an address in Balsall Heath this morning where a man was arrested on suspicion of involvement in running a County Lines drug network and exploiting vulnerable children to sell drugs on his behalf.

"A 22-year-old man remains in police custody this morning (May 23)."

Beaconsfield Road runs between Edgbaston Road and Oakfield Road, just up from Cannon Hill Park in Birmingham.
