Reported Drugs Raid at River Hill Barrasford By Police
Published 11/01/07
On Wednesday 10th January 2007, whilst residents of the normally quiet village of Barrasford awoke, Police were preparing an early morning raid on the outskirts of the village. At around 7am, Police officers allegedly raided River Hill Farm - often cited on maps as Reiver Hill - in what onlookers believe could be a drugs bust.

Rumor's spread through the rural community like wild fire as residents tried to find information on the flurry of activity from Northumbria Police. Nothing is known of the occupants of the beautiful rural property however it has historically been let to tenants.

River Hill Farm in Barrasford lies in a beautiful secluded spot overlooking the River North Tyne and is accessible only by a Private Road. This secluded spot could be wrongly seen by criminal gangs as a discreet haven for illicit activity. In reality the spot is popular with dog walkers and anglers alike, as well as agricultural workers going about their daily business on the Chipchase Castle estate.

Suspicious activity, like curtains remaining closed for weeks or the appearance of large menacing guard dogs in the garden of a house, would be unlikely to go unnoticed by eagle eyed ramblers. As yet no media coverage has been devoted to the story with the BBC, Tyne Tees, Journal and Evening Chronicle all failing to mention the news item that has shocked this rural community. It remains to be seen whether the local Hexham Courant newspaper will shed more light on this development.

As more news stories break and further information becomes available links will be posted here. If you know anything about the activity that has gripped Barrasford please contact us.
