Police smashed in a number of doors across Merseyside in a bid to stamp down on organised and serious crime.
A number of warrants were carried out by Merseyside Police in the region on Monday, October 17 as part of Operation Crossbow. The operation's day of action, involving more than 200 officers from Merseyside Police, Cheshire Constabulary and British Transport Police, targeted serious and organised crime.
Officers from each force's road policing unit, dog section, county lines teams and neighbourhood policing officers carried out search warrants and targeted illegal vehicles and criminals using the roads and rail network at the county border. The visible presence came off the back of the recent serious violence in Merseyside, which included three fatal shootings including nine nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel.
