Last month the ECHO reported how two boys, aged 12 and 13 had been arrested in St Helens town centre after being caught in possession of large quantities of drugs and cash. In a statement at the time, Merseyside Police said: "Once again, if your children are in the town centre we will take action against them if found to be committing crime or anti-social behaviour."
As part of the force's attempts to tackle the rising issue of anti-social behaviour in the town centre, Merseyside Police said it has increased visible patrols in the area and will have zero tolerance of criminal behaviour.
