Six Metropolitan Police officers have been suspended or placed on restricted duties following allegations of ill-treatment after a police raid.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is investigating the Enfield-based officers' conduct, according to Scotland Yard.
The alleged offences are said to have taken place in the borough during two drugs raids on 4 November last year.
The Met said the allegations were serious and raised "real concern".
But they said they could not comment on the exact nature of the complaints.
However, some national newspapers are reporting that the officers used water torture techniques such as ducking a suspect's head under water.

This strikes me as the sacrificing of a few low level cops to cover the asses of the higher ups. I don't know what the cops over there are like but I have no reason to believe they're any different from those here in the States.
