The difference is in the form of "to scrape". So the appearance of cocaine is in the past tense, right? It's said that it's in the past because of "had". In the past, the police were doing something. This is the continuous form of the verb, which is "Verb + -ing". So the right answer would be the first one because the police were doing something in the past, while the second one doesn't fulfill that criteria.
