According to the older of his two sons, the raid was over a 'tip' that the younger son had 2 pot plants growing in the house....maybe, maybe not.
No one was ever charged with any crime, but my Uncle was left with taking care of the repairs and burying the dogs.
Seems like a bit of overkill for a guy who lives by himself. The Authorities probably could have called him and avoided the 'Show'......if they had wanted to.
