We have charged a man in Litherland with possession with intent to supply Class B drugs following his arrest yesterday (Wednesday 26 January).

Two Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) conducting enquiries in Litherland at around 2.45pm in relation to a wanted man called additional patrols who forced entry to an address after noting a strong smell of cannabis.

Officers arrested and later charged John Paul Rea, 32, of no fixed address with possession with intent to supply Class B drugs.

They also seized a quantity of cannabis and an electric bike.

Rea was remanded in custody to appear at Liverpool Magistrates Court today (Thursday 27 January).
