A crossbow was recovered from the Edwin Court address, but no drugs were found.
A spokesperson for Leicestershire Police explained that the Chief Constable, who lives in south Leicestershire, had been on his way to a meeting in London from Market Harborough railway station. His train was cancelled due to Storm Doris.
Finding himself with some unexpected free time, the Chief Constable decided to join local police on the two raids.
