Police smashed through the front doors of five properties with suspected links to organised crime in a series of morning raids.
Merseyside Police launched its Clear, Hold, Build project, known locally as EVOLVE Wirral, on the Woodchurch, Noctorum and Beechwood estates this morning, Thursday, May 18. The Home Office-designed project was launched to disrupt and deter organised crime group (OCG) activity and help stop neighbourhoods being exploited by criminals.
As part of the first stage of the day of action, the force executed five misuse of drug warrants at properties across Woodchurch and Birkenhead town centre. The ECHO was informed Merseyside Police had received significant intelligence which suggested some of those involved were involved in serious criminal activity.
