A woman and two men were arrested after what police found inside a car. At around 11.55pm on Thursday, January 9, officers stopped a car on Breeze Hill in Bootle because the people inside were acting suspiciously.
Once stopped, officers could smell cannabis coming from the car. Following a search of the vehicle, tablets suspected to be MDMA, cannabis and 30 wraps of cocaine were found. Police then carried out searches of addresses linked to the three people.
Inside more drugs were seized as well as mobile phones, weighing scales and an old police baton. The following people were arrested following the searches:
- A 43-year-old man from Liverpool was arrested on suspicion of drug driving, possessing an offensive weapon in a public place, possession with intent to supply a controlled Class A drug (cocaine) and possession with intent to supply a Class B drug (cannabis).
- A 43-year-old woman from Liverpool was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply controlled Class A drugs (cocaine and MDMA) and possession with intent to supply a Class B drug (cannabis).
- A 28-year-old man from Liverpool was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply controlled Class A drugs (cocaine and MDMA) and possession with intent to supply a Class B drug (cannabis).
Chief Inspector Derek Riley said: “Thanks to the vigilance of officers on proactive patrol in south Sefton, we have been able to seize drugs destined for our streets and also arrest three people. Those who supply drugs in our communities are helping to sustain an illicit trade that relies on violence and intimidation.
“Information from the public is vital if we are to breakdown the organised crime groups who bring misery to our streets and I would appeal to anyone who has information to come forward.”
