Description: Forced entry--The scene after police used a battering ram to gain entrance to a suspected "rock house"--a fortified dwelling from which drugs are dispensed--on Louvre Street in Pacoima. As the armored car mounted with a 14-foot steel battering ram backed away from the door, much of the adjoining wall was also destroyed. No narcotics or weapons were found, but two men and two women were arrested on suspicion of possession of drugs for sale.
