Man arrested and drugs, cash and watches seized in city centre warrant

We arrested a man and seized suspected Class A drugs in Liverpool City Centre yesterday, Tuesday 29 June.

At around 10am, officers attended an address on Cornwallis Street to carry out a warrant. Following a search, they recovered cannabis, suspected Class A drugs, watches, phones and drug paraphernalia, as well as approximately £3,000-£4,000 in cash.

A 24-year-old man from Liverpool was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A and B drugs, and on suspicion of money laundering. 

He has been released while investigations continue. 

Detective Inspector Sean Kelly-Martland said: “The seizure of any drugs is always a great result as it can no longer cause harm in our communities, and thankfully yesterday officers took suspected cocaine out of circulation. 

“I would encourage anyone who has any information on the supply of drugs or storage of weapons to please let us know. The community are our eyes and ears, and we must work together to rid our streets of this criminal activity and put those involved before the courts.”

Anyone with any information on the supply of drugs or storage of weapons is asked to contact us @MerPolCC on Twitter, Merseyside Police Contact Centre on Facebook or call 101.
