We arrested a man and recovered a quantity of drugs, cash and weapons, including an air weapon, in Sefton yesterday, Saturday 18 June. 

At around 6.30pm officers on patrol in Crosby witnessed suspected drugs transactions taking place in a private hire vehicle on Hicks Road and Glendower Road, Waterloo. 

Officers detained the driver, searched the vehicle and recovered multiple wraps of white powder (suspected cocaine). The driver, a 42-year-old man from Formby, was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class a drugs. 

A search of a property in Formby was then executed.  A cannabis farm consisting of 14 plants, a quantity of suspected cannabis, a quantity of cash, a machete, two crossbows and an air weapon was recovered.

The 42-year-old man was further arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class B drugs and possession of criminal property. 

He was taken into custody and is being questioned by police. 

Detective Inspector Darren Hankin said: “Thanks to the work of our officers yesterday, dangerous weapons and drugs have now been removed from our streets and can no longer be used to inflict fear and harm in Merseyside. 

“We know that drug dealing is a blight on our communities and we will relentlessly pursue those people responsible. No one should profit from such offences while our wider law-abiding communities work hard to earn an honest living and we take action on all reports of drug dealing we receive. 

“If you know someone in your area involved in suspected drug dealing please let us know so we can take them off our streets.”

Anyone with information about drug dealing in their community is asked to DM @MerPolCC or contact @CrimestoppersUK anonymously on 0800 555 111. Always call 999 if a crime is in progress.
