Merseyside Police was told there were no drugs being sold from the address, and saw a handmade sign in the window of the property which read: "This is not a knock on. I smoke it, not sell it".
However, after a search on the Birkenhead property, police uncovered a large amount of suspected Class A Drugs, cash, mobile phones and tick lists.
60 wraps of white and brown powder and a quantity of cash was recovered.
A 57-year-old woman from Birkenhead was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply cocaine and heroin and possession of criminal property.
She was taken into custody and has been questioned by police and has now been released under investigation pending further enquiries.
Sharing the post on their Facebook account, Merseyside Police wrote: “Wirral Targeted Team have, today, executed a warrant at an address in Birkenhead under the Misuse of Drugs Act.
“Acting on intelligence, officers executed the warrant where they were informed there were no drugs sold from the address.
“However, officers uncovered a large amount of suspected Class A Drugs, cash, mobile phones and tick lists.”
Sergeant McEvoy from our Wirral Targeted Policing Team said: “The arrest made by our officers yesterday show that we are committed to removing drugs and the misery that they cause from our communities across Merseyside.
“Thanks to our work, a significant amount of drugs that could have been used to cause fear and harm is now off our streets.
“No criminal should profit from such misery while our wider law-abiding communities work hard to earn an honest living. If you know someone in your area involved in suspected drug dealing please let us know so we can take them off our streets.”
