Police make gun and drug arrests after raiding homes

Police have made a number of arrests, including one for a gun offence, after raiding a number of homes in Merseyside.

Merseyside Police made arrests following a number of home raids as part of a policing operation in areas of Longview and Dovecot on Wednesday, March 8. Several homes were searched, a quantity of drugs seized, and vehicles were stopped during the operation, which was carried out to target those suspected of being involved in gang-related activity, disrupt their business and provide reassurance to the community.

A 19-year-old man from Huyton was arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm without a licence, possession of Class C drugs with intent to supply and dangerous driving. A 32-year-old woman and a 33-year-old man from Dovecot were also arrested on suspicion of possession of cannabis with intent to supply.
