Detective Inspector Paul McVeigh said: “Merseyside Police is committing to removing guns from our streets and this was a significant result which came on the back of a stop search by officers. I am delighted that we were able to seize these weapons and ammunition to prevent them being used to cause fear or worry in our communities.

 

“We know that drug dealing and its associated criminality also causes misery for many people and I am glad that we were able to take such positive action to seize the drugs.

 

“I would appeal to anyone who has information about weapons or guns in their community to come forward so that we can take positive.”
