The terrified screams of a child seconds after police raided a family home showed the devastating impact organised crime has on communities.
Merseyside Police continued to expand its Clear, Hold, Build project in Wirral yesterday (May 18) to disrupt and deter organised crime group (OCG) activity in the Woodchurch, Beechwood and Noctorum estates. As part of an extensive day of action, the force raided five properties with suspected links to significant drug crime in Wirral.
A police Matrix van, followed by a minibus of journalists and TV crews, left Upton police station and made its way onto the Woodchurch estate shortly after 9.30am. After waiting for several minutes to allow other teams get into position, the police van continued on to its destination - a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of Woodchurch.
