Three people have been arrested after officers noticed suspected drug dealing, resulting in a large quantity of cannabis recovered in Liverpool.

Officers were on mobile patrol yesterday afternoon (Thursday 21 May) when they noticed a man approach a car in suspected drug dealing on Bardsay Road in Everton.

A search was carried out as a strong smell of cannabis was emanating from the vehicle, and the Class B controlled drug was found in the driver’s jacket and vehicle.

A further search was conducted at an address in Everton resulting in around 25kg of cannabis and cannabis oil recovered from the property.

Three people, a 36-year-old man from Bootle, a 32-year-old man from Liverpool, and a 42-year-old woman from Everton, were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a controlled Class B drug, cannabis. They are all in police custody for questioning.

Detective Inspector Paula Jones said: “We all know too well the substantial damage and harm drugs has on our communities.

“I hope theses arrests sends a clear message to those involved in serious and organised crime that we are relentless in proactively pursuing criminals to bring them to justice.
