'Cuckooing' victim: Drug dealers took over my home

Drug dealers are moving into the homes of vulnerable people, including the disabled and addicts, to sell drugs outside major cities in a practice known as 'cuckooing'.

'Sarah' was targeted by a group of dealers from London who moved into her home in Ipswich. Her five year-old son was taken into care by social services after police discovered weapons stashed under his bed by the dealers.

Sarah told 5 live: "I've gone from saying my mum is coming round, social services are coming round, I'm going to phone the police...everything...and they just don't care."
