Doors go in as County Lines task force raid homes 350 miles away

Merseyside Police's dedicated County Lines task force raided houses over 350 miles away in a bid to disrupt organised crime groups.

Officers from Merseyside Police's Project Medusa carried out a joint operation with local police forces in Cornwall earlier this week targeting drug related offences. The activity happened as part of a national week of action targeting the supply of drugs and the exploitation of vulnerable people.

The large-scale operation involving 100 officers, carried out a series of warrants across the southern county. The operation, which involved a number of local teams as well as Merseyside Police's specialist officers and the South West Regional Organised Crime Unit (SWROCU), made 31 arrests and seized a large amount of drugs, cash and bladed weapons.
