REPORT: POLICE LEAK RUINED DRUG RAID

DAYTONA BEACH -- A drug raid at a house went awry after a Daytona Beach SWAT officer told a policewoman about an investigation at the targeted residence, and the policewoman told her girlfriend, an internal affairs report shows.

The house just happens to belong to the girlfriend's relatives, police said, and she warned them about the drug bust in advance.

As a result, when SWAT members and the Crime Suppression Team raided the property at 232 Walnut St.  on Feb.  5, they found nothing, the report states.  In addition, residents of the house told police they had been warned about the bust by someone linked to a Daytona Beach cop.
