Two men arrested after drugs found inside property Wirral

Two men have been arrested after drugs were found inside a property in Tranmere yesterday, Wednesday 18 December.

Officers were driving along Derby Road when they saw a vehicle parked on St Catherines Garden’s and a man went into a property nearby. He then returned and drove away onto Church Road.

The vehicle was stopped by officers and while carrying out a search found a rock of white powder, suspected to be crack cocaine.

The driver was arrested on suspicion of possession of a controlled Class  A drug.

A further search was carried out at a house in Tranmere and officers found a large quantity of suspected Class A drugs, including psilocybin mushroom (otherwise known as magic mushrooms), ecstasy tablets and opiate tablets, and Class B drugs, ketamine and cannabis inside the property.

In addition, officers found a man with a bag of white powder, suspected to be cocaine.

Two men, aged 63 and 43 years from Tranmere, were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs and possession of a controlled Cass B drug. They are still in police custody to be questioned.
