A suspect was named after he reportedly rammed a police car before swallowing suspected cocaine.
Officers became suspicious when they saw what they believed to be two separate drug deals taking place in the Walton and Bootle area on Saturday, April 29. Police then tried to stop a car in Bootle, but a 27-year-old man rammed into a police vehicle before swallowing a quantity of suspected cocaine.
He was arrested and remained in custody while "awaiting the passing of the drugs swallowed".
