The post said: "Operation Pelican Officers have this evening arrested a 21-year-old male from the Waterloo area for drug supply offences, money laundering and obstructing police. Officers sighted the male in two separate drug transactions in the Waterloo area before he was detained by officers. The male is suspected to have secreted numerous wraps of Crack Cocaine and Heroin up his anus.
"He was also found to be in possession of approximately £1300 in cash believed to be from the proceeds of crime. The male was subsequently arrested and now faces a long wait until he passes the drugs before then being interviewed by detectives."
The seizures are the work of a special police team targeting troublemakers on the streets of South Sefton. Operation Pelican was set up in 2017 to disrupt gangs causing misery through drug dealing and shootings in Bootle, Netherton, Litherland and neighbouring communities.
