Clean House: CTSFO Raid in London | April 2017
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- In April 2017, the CTSFO were deployed to Willesden, in North-West London, with the objective of securing a house that British Intelligence had been monitoring for 8 months. With the use of original footage captured at the scene, we are able to piece together the exact moments of the raid as it unfolded.

Can’t help but think of the Modern Warfare 2019 mission “clean house” now.
Lol yeah its the same thing my mind brought up
Best mission ever
Pronounced : ' wiwsden'
The modern warfare house raid was performed by sas though, far more elite than this lot . But they do train them though
No shit 😂 that’s why he named the video “Clean house”
2 years and four months ? And to think these officers put their lives on the line for that kind of sentencing. What a shame.
There's a reason I wouldn't go to the uk on vacation😂
@@jesperomsf816 Huh? Why
@@Jordan-er9bx ????????????????
Its the UK. They let out child rapists and murderers in the time it takes to get a PHD.
@@jesperomsf816 That doesn't even make sense

APRIL FOOLS' JOKE COME EARLY?
@@tonyneillaw Huh?
The police have always got to be on the ball in these cases. Well done lads.
True, and they could use, us, the public, full support.
The police are actively working for NWO corporations and are completely subversive and indoctrinated to the point of fanaticism with the NWO ideology. 7/7 attacks on london was a false flag operation and this raid was a stunt to maintain the illusion of terrorism. Remember 8 months and a ridiculous American style raid to put behind bars for a very sort time should make this obvious. The police need to explain how they are not a terrorist organisation from there ideology identity in dissolving the uk which typically would be seen as the work of a foreign force and the resulting charge of treason and abuse of office in these agenda means a lot of death penalties. Also it is a duty for every historic British person to conduct lawful rebellion against the corrupt government as in states this clearly in the magna carta that lawful rebellion is permitted if the government takes orders from foreign entities.

This channel is one of the best for this genre on UA-cam!! Thanks for all the great videos!! I’ve learned of raids and operations that I’ve never heard of before!
Another excellent video by LfE. I always love hearing stories of the Brits kicking ass.
It's been a while since I've stopped by. Its awesome to see that your channel has grown! You deserve it
As a muslim myself i do not support this kind of act by the people who do this kinda of stuff, props to the police and they are doing really god job
@Yeetus debeetus Eff outta here troll
Cheers, and ignore that troll
Ignore that rude guy.
Good on you. And don’t worry about the idiots in this thread. I know that you and many other muslims are putting your lives on the line to defend your homes from these monsters. Peshmerga, the Iraqi defense forces, the armies in Nigeria, Somalia and the resistance in Afghanistan. We stand with you
@@ZeroResurrected Couldn't agree more, however that doesnt mean Islam isn't a massive problem for any society its found in.
Little more info on the medical team mentioned. The London ambulance service deployed their hazardous area response team into the 'warm' area that was the street outside the address. Unlike regular paramedics they are equipped with additional PPE including ballistic vests and helmets. This allows them to be closer than a regular 'staging' area. You can see at 4:36 the LAS HART incident command vehicle (looks like a big ambulance).
Front line medics never get the kudos they deserve.
This is because the ambulance service doesn't have a good media team hence you don't hear much about them. If you want to know what's going on look at the local fire services Twitter (Obviously for incidents where they're there)
This sounds like something America needs to think about doing with all these Mass shootings going on. Go in fast, covered with the 2nd team if the medics are willing to go in and try and minimise the casualty’s/injuries/fatalities. Just a quick thought.
@@fucknugget8856 Paramedics are often in SWAT teams, look up Prep Medic
Actually, in LAS. A lot of the time this role is carried out by the Tactical Response Unit, who specialise in firearms incidents.
HART can also do this role as can SORT, but the TRU take primary
With close friends in the unit, I have nothing but respect. Unbelievable guys and girls in this roll. 💪
No girls, just guys fam

@p ja CTSFO contains both male and female officers across all aspects of operational capacity
A big thank you for your time and effort putting this video together CHEERS.
Yank veteran here... You guys do what you must to protect yourselves and your beautiful country. We don't want to see a "9/11" happen in London. Just like with us, you have people in your country who's intentions are evil. I saw the BBC movie "Dirty War". Please understand that reality would always be worse. God Bless America and the United Kingdom 🇺🇲🤜🤛🇬🇧
7/7 bombings were close enough for us 😔
Knowing these operators are assisted by the British Special Forces, you know they are going to be good
wrong
These are just the lads you know about
@Chase Williams they shooting skills are no ware as good as most civilian gun owners !
@@geezerp1982 how
@@harryeyre1322 because civilans have the same type of rifles and practice more then armed cops do FACT
Another detailed and great mini doc! Keep them coming 👍🏻
Officers like this don't get enough credit or praise.
Well done CTSFO guys. And 'Liveth for evermore' for his detailing of the operation.
200 liker
wayne couzens was one of the lead officers, you know the man who kidnapped and raped then killed sarah everett? so yes its a great job we sent this clown in to arrest 3 females lmao
Really enjoyed this also those loud bangs were not just the door being breached I suspect it was either RIP gas being fired into the house via a shotgun or a grenade launcher firing CS gas canisters. RIP gas was developed by the SAS, it's more potent than CS and again it can be fired through a door or window into a building. The Met anti terrorist unit first used this in their botched raid in the 1990s against an IRA gang in a hotel. You should make a video on this, however the shooting that killed one member of the IRA is highly controversial.
The shoot to kill policy, re sas ira, would make an interesting video. The Gibraltar operation seems to be the most reported but others have taken place with less publicity .
May have also been ‘regular’ stun grenades. If you lookup the footage of the Lindt Cafe siege in Australia, which had the ‘benefits’ to the viewer ( not of the hostages though) of being resolved at dusk, and being in the cafe directly opposite one of the news production centres of a major commercial TV network, there were a series of multiple loud bangs on the teams entry. The flash-bangs they used were of a relatively new design at the time, with each grenade producing around nine individual ‘flashes and crashes’ over a 5 second duration.
If you are going to use riot agents you have to let them soak... give them time to debilitate the recipients. Not break the door and THEN deploy them.
@@redwolfexr with flash/bangs you deploy, and immediately follow, they have a short term effect, measured in seconds. Tear-gas etcetera have a longer time of onset of symptoms, and duration of effect.
@@andrewallason4530 so you agree with what I said. The video specifically said they deployed tear gas, not flashbangs.
Respect to all service men i dread to think what it would be like without you! Keep up the good work. 👌
Excellent production and content as always.
I'm so glad I found this channel. Great content!
Excellent example of a well organized raid by professionals. Good job.
I showed this video to my dad.
Funnily enough he told me that on that day he actually drove past their he said “I was driving past that street then I saw armed police with bullet proof gear, I thought there was a terrorist or drug cartel there.”
it sucks that she even lived thru the raid... Great video!!
Awesome video as always!
Thank you for these high quality videos. Would be great to see some on Vietnam era especially MAC V SOG
Thanks
Was this the call of Duty mission?
Yes the mission was based off this
Excellent Work
sneaky SBS patch on the right side officer's helmet, no wonder these guys are so good
Yeah, I immediately wondered if they were close, seems like it. SAS/SBS is allowed to deploy within the UK, so to me it didnt make sense to have this other unit unless they were trained up with SAS/SBS.
@@firefoxx04 They do some training alongside UKSF but not to the same level or intensity
@@Fidgottio the same intensity of training is not exactly necessary. The sas are obviously military so would conduct full scale military operations and go on deployments for many months
The UK is full of people like this, god knows how many surveillance officers and hours are spent on this individuals!!
you mean criminals? they are all over the world thats what security forces are there for, if it not one it the other, IRA etc thankfully the UK forces wrote the book on CT ops
@@MegaJohny56 you know what he means, stop deluding yourself
Imagine France...
@@TheMrFu On what? The IRA terrorists? They're still out there, walking freely on the streets. Amassing funds through charity fronts and terrorist-sympathising diaspora in America, Canada, Australia, etc.
@@vincere_ mind you there were definatley members of the British forces in the troubles that were terrorists
Very well executed by the officers, but why did KNOWN TERRORISTS only get 2 & 6 years in prison!? WTF!?
British laws are crazy. They would have got a minimum of twenty years in the US
@@prozombie6768 Nothing to do with laws but sentencing guidelines and judging them on a case by case basis. There have been terrorists who did not kill or injure anyone yet have gotten like 20-40 year sentences in the UK so it does happen.
@@tanyard facts
Because we are decent.
The mother got six years in a bit because she failed to mentor her children and assisted in doing a recce drive-by around Westminster. It was supposed to be a knife attack. I didn’t have a gun or a bomb between them know that they have an eye any idea on how to make such a thing as a bomb between them the one that got two years was because she wanted to go to Syria to become an Isis fighter. The majority of all this was talk yapping and wishful thinking on their part. The questions you have to ask is what brought MI5 attention on them... Well it’s quite simple that two of the pricks they were inviting to the home had been caught in Turkey, trying to cross the border into Siri had to become Isis fighters, and when they were deported back, they were interrogated and released.… That’s the story, how about interrogated and termed as a result they visit in these women and think of the above their apartment. It was a bullshit plot, more wishful thinking, and Alison Wonderland fantasy. Look it up. Did even got some of the recordings online that they made. It is childish. 6:36 6:36 😅 6:36 6:36
Only the best from you, keep it up.
Nice! A Specialist force with a particular set of skills developed with the Kings of combat, the SAS.
Doors tend to open to the big red key!
Amazing work and great video
You should do more about police special forces, from different countries. Really great content
bro your videos are so cool and relaxing bro thank you for your vids
Great work by the CTSFO and of Scotland Yard.
The intro for these videos always get me hyped. CTSFO is such a badass unit. Counter terrorism elite for sure.
😹😹
CTSFO isn't a unit, it's a role. It stands for Counter Terrorism Specialist Firearms Officer. They're assigned to units within the CTSFO Network hubs their forces are aligned to. West Midlands Hub for example are part of the West Mids Police Tactical Firearms Team, which is made up of CTSFOs and SFOs. That's then part of the Operational Firearms Unit, which also contains the ARV units
Imagine being willing to jump into a terror cell's hideout and they basically don't sentence them
Well knifer got life
Thanks for the vid.
Great video! Could you make a video on the Bulo Marer hostage rescue attemp? It was carried out by the Service Action of the DGSE (the action group of the french external intelligence agency) in order to rescue Denis Allex, an intelligence officer taken hostage three years prior. This operation failed (the hostage was killed alongside two french soldiers) but it is one of the most important (known) operation of this unit, and I think it could be very interesting for a video.
Didn't knew about this operation until now. This would be interesting to use for my future assignments
I suspect the result would have been
much different if one of our special forces had gone in.
Oh damn didn’t expect this video
With videos like this, I suppose you can go deeper into the units involved. History of them stuff like that, especially as an American who never heard of this police ct unit
@@TheCoolCucumber By having them it also frees up the Special Forces to focus on other operations
CTSFO is a designation of firearms officer, not the name of the unit. They were created and upskilled from existing SFOs ready for the 2012 Olympics. Happy to explain a bit more about their place within UK policing if needed
Google them
@@Fidgottio but they seem like a unit tho due to the limited numbers of them and their secrecy compared to other armed police ranks
Great work !
So Khawla Barghouti has now served her sentence and Mina Dich just over half
Hopefully Khawla was deported to wherever she came from unless she was born in the UK then send her to Afghanistan.
just imagine driving home from work, looking at the car next to you, and seeing these guys all kitted up driving to the target
love your videos bro please make more :)
Great content dude
The British Justice System needs massive reforms.
Justice is Indispensable. There should be no excuse.
I cannot stand the vile UK system and government. Rich bastards think all about themselves and not the people
This is the same government that subsidizes morbid obesity.
God bless you always all of you 🙏
Less than three years for terrorism? Y’all are wild.
seems we like to keep a spicy element in the public to keeps us all on our toes?
@@anonymous2513456 lmfao
Always a great videos and content!!
Oh, for the days when we didn't need a force like this...
Thanks for another cracking vid.
Before SOF they would just blow up the house
Can you make a video on op Cactus ?
so one of them terrys are now free on the streets again.
That first bit of footage is from one of the encro raids I believe.
Very lenient sentences for terrorism offences.
Gr8 video on this one. Lucky to catch. Would you ever consider a little more animation to make the video even more interesting ?
Any one else get reminded of cod mw19
What, by the title that directly references it? Yes.
That’s the point bud
@@skepticalbadger lol for real this guy is slow
Reminds me of ctsfo characters like gaz, and mil slim
love the modern warfare mission that's based on this incident.
This is frankly hilarious. Simon Chesterman quotes, amazing. Alan Partridge does Policing.
My favourite COD mission is called clean house
Er, yeah. That's why this video is called that.
I thought they were going to have those red coats, weird looking hats, and a musket.
That was so funny 😐
@@Complexactivities ok just shut up
And the politicians who have let these people to settle in the UK are still lecturing us about our prejudices, and about embracing diversity.
I was living in Willesden when this happened, had no idea
"assisting with terrorism preparations"
"two years and four months imprisonment"
is this for real?
Does this mean the channel will feature more police action?I hope it does,as all kinds of security forces deserve recognition.
I wish we could just give terrorists the death sentence. They hate us and i dont think a few years in prison is going to change that at all. Great video.
Videos still not showing in my feed til days later. Almost like youtube hates certain content
Small nitpick but Willesden is pronounced "Wills-duhn", similar to how you pronounce Harlesden - otherwise cracking video as usual!
2 years. right!
MW 2019 clean hounse mission was based off this
Great level!
Why else do you think the title is the same?!
well done CTSFO teams, great work
The real criminals are those in government and the legal system that handed down such pathetic sentences.
Yes and letting anyone in
I’m playing clean house on my Xbox as this video came up on my phone
Willesden is pronounced - Willsden.
this guy seems to mispronounce quite a few things. clearly not the sharpest tool in the shed and just parroting back information he's read. still, interesting videos though.
Wow it's almost like the UK has many accents. Who would have thought.
@@alecjones4135 nothing to do with his accent you muppet, it's just lack of knowledge/ignorance

Hilarious they didn't have the street shut down to vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Motorcycle drives bye and pedestrians walking bye while filming as Assault begins. Professional
Longer you spend faffing about outside the more likely you are to lose the element of surprise.
Thanks for the video, somewhat puzzled that the woman with the knife survived being shot at close range by the office using a rifle.
It's was probably a g36 variant chambered in 5.56. The 5.56 round wasn't actually designed to kill. The point of the round was to wound the enemy, taking one or two extra enemies to extract the casualty, essentially taking out 3 enemies with 1 shot. The fast velocity of the bullet also means that it will likely pass through the body, rather than spreading out inside, causing less damage than say a 9mm pistol.
@@finn8210 bro what kind of misinformation is that. 5.56 is 100% designed with lethality on the mind.
@@Britsout4429 haha OK. Low caliber, very high speed, high penetration? It's definitely not designed with lethality in mind. Larger, lower velocity calipers, like 7.62x39 from an ak are, but 5.56 or the Russian 5.45 are considerably less lethality. Its obvious.
@@finn8210 your assertion that a caliber specifically designed for and by the largest and most powerful military alliance ever formed is not designed with lethality in mind is some real smooth brain stuff. You realize 7.62x39 has better penetration than 5.56?
@@Britsout4429 as you said, the largest, most valuable military organisation knows what they are talking about. You don't. Whilst 762 may be better at destroying soft surfaces as it carries more power (hence its higher lethality, but you obviously don't understand this), 556 is much better at penetrating hard surfaces, so as long as enemies don't start wearing logs and twigs as body armour, 556 will better pierce armour. On the lethality. Ask any hunter. 5.56 very often lacks the stopping power required to kill an animal, with rounds like 7.62 and .308 being preferred. This is because they have higher lethality, OK? Similar reports come from Afghanistan and Vietnam, saying that 5.56 lacks stopping power compared with the adversaries russian aks, using 7.62 mainly. Don't delude yourself further. You are not more clever than the might of the US military. They think in more terms than maximising lethality, or else we would have a .50 bmg standard issue rifle wouldn't we. Due to its relatively low lethality, 5.56 was developed to take out medics and other soldiers to care for those wounded by it. Among other advantages, this lead to its adoption and use to this day. If you think it is more lethal or less penetrative than 7.62, you obviously have no clue about basic ballistics.
Ahhh....the benefits of "cultural enrichment."
Thanks for the video, somewhat puzzled the the woman with the knife survived being shot at close range by the office using a rifle.
Luck probably. That close he's hitting wherever he aims, so she got really lucky more than anything.
Women in these teams are just stopping more capable men from being in that team. 0:22
We need more CTSFO vids!
Defo SAS in that unit.
Defo not.
SAS helped with raids in Manchester after bombing. They normally wear camouflage though and not CTFO uniforms.
So there all out now?
whoever was recording that phone footage clearly didn't want to stick around, wonder what they had to hide? 😂
Embarrassed that they were in possession of such a Potato!
What, a large group of masked, armed men firing shots into a house and forcing entry.
Not many would stick around incase they get shot.
@@TheCoolCucumber *r/whoosh* lighten up Brett
Excellent, well done lads. Long may you continue to rid our streets of these evil people. Fight violence with better trained violence. Respect lads, respect.🙊🙉🙈👍
Something has gone wrong and drastically when you look at the paramilitary style of them compared to proper English police officers 30-50yrs ago
Summers are shorter now too
These aren't street thugs from 30 or 50 years ago. 30 years ago the UK was using the SAS to eliminate the IRA, these officers have taken over some of the responsibility in capture/CT missions making it more of a police matter to deal with terrorism.
lol wut? That's just the modern tactical uniform style. Look at modern military uniform compared to WW2 for example - has something gone drastically wrong there as well? Or should our armed forces still be be wearing plain woollen uniforms and steel brodie helmets?
These aren't regular police. As said in the video they're highly trained only for this type of situation. Kinda like SWAT in the US but mostly for terrorism.
@@alecjones4135 why are you directing that at me? I know... it's clearly the OP that doesn't
Barghoughti and Dich were both subject to automatic deportation on completion of sentences, I hope it went through.
So, did Modern Warfare's "Clean House" mission was based on this?
Respect the Leo’s crazy great trained as Londoner glad there nowadays 🇬🇧
good video not totally correct though, do you have a way to contact yourself?
With the amount of randoms coming in on boats these lot are guna be busy
That's when COD: MW mission, clean house, pops in your mind
Shocking sentences
Assisting or attempting to commit terrorism should be a minimum of 50 years.
Crazy I live in the town next to Rochester. What was the woman’s name?
some people just don't know how to hold a camera still, it's unbelievable...
You have 2 maybe 3 different accents during this video. Where you from? Intrigued!
