Heroin and stun gun recovered whilst 5 arrested following warrants in Liverpool

As part of #OpTarget officers from our Liverpool Local Policing Team have been working in the Kensington area of Liverpool (on 12^th March) responding to community intelligence and targeting drug dealing as well as violent crime.

Officers conducted a number of search warrants at addresses on Needham Road and Judges Drive, both in Liverpool.

Whilst at these addresses the officers recovered what they believe to be a significant quantity of heroin (1 – 2kg), cash and a suspected torch disguised as a stun gun.

Five men were arrested for a variety of offences including possession with intent to supply drugs, possession of a prohibited weapon and possession of criminal property.

In addition to this, officers also implemented several roadside operations targeting illegal use of the road and reporting a number of motorists for road traffic related offences.

Community engagement was also a huge part of this operation and officers were on the ground encouraging the local community to provide further information to help them tackle crime and ASB in the area.
