Targeted Policing Inspector Michael McEvoy said: “We have been working towards issues on human trafficking and the illegal importation of drugs for a long time, and today’s operation was a significant find which has a massive impact on the community in relation to drug supply.
“If people are making money from supplying drugs and exploiting people then we will target them and bring them before the courts. If you have any information in relation to drug supply in your area please contact Merseyside Police or Crimestoppers anonymously.”
