Two handguns have been discovered after a search in Knotty Ash.
Police and forensics officers were spotted at a cordon off Colwell Road, on the afternoon of Monday, March 6. Merseyside police have now confirmed that the scene was put in place after officers found two firearms.
The search had been carried out on waste land as part of an ongoing and pre-planned disruption and reassurance campaign. The guns will now be forensically recovered to establish if they are viable weapons.
