Shocking weapons have been taken off Knowsley streets as police continue to crack down on criminal behaviour.
Merseyside Police confirmed that officers had been patrolling the Page Moss and Huyton areas on Thursday engaging with the community. They visited businesses to discuss crime prevention strategies and offer support and a number of open land searches were conducted in key hot spot locations.
Officers visited locations based on public information about where anti-social behaviour and violence is 'prevalent'. Merseyside Police confirmed to the ECHO that these searches were carried out in the Knowsley Heights area.
