Community Inspector Sarah Rotherham said: “This arrest highlights that we will not tolerate drugs on our streets and we will take action to make our communities a safer place to live. I would urge people in our communities who have any information about who is supplying or selling drugs in their area to continue to support us and let us know so we can take action."

If you have any information on the possession of, storage or use of drugs in your community, please contact police on Twitter @MerPolCC or Facebook ‘Merseyside Police Contact Centre’. You can also contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously, on 0800 555 111. Always call 999 if a crime is in progress.
