OOPS they did it again. At least they didn’t murder the guy in cold blood. He should be thanking Worcester’s finest.

WORCESTER, Mass. (WHDH) – A Worcester family is demanding answers after the State Police and a Worcester SWAT team raided their house by mistake.

Bryant Alequin, 23, said he was getting ready for work early Wednesday morning when someone charged up their stairwell and kicked in their front door.

“It was 5:30 in the morning, they came in the house, they didn’t want to disclose any information,” said Alequin. “It was traumatizing.”

Alequin said the officers told him to shut up when he asked about his wife and children, who were also in the apartment. What made it worse was the police had raided the wrong house.

“We want a full investigation into this,” said Alequin, who said he and his family are afraid of being in their own house now. “We just want to find out who’s accountable.”

Worcester Police did not respond to a request for comment. Alequin said his family has hired a lawyer, who has sent a letter to the city.
