Ten people were arrested and weapons were taken off the streets as part of a large 'action day' in Knowsley.
Throughout the day on April 6, uniformed police patrolled the streets of Huyton as part of Operation Vermont and talked to locals about their concerns. Officers carried out a number of stop searches which led to multiple arrests and drivers were handed fines for motoring offences.
Arrests included for possession of a controlled drug, assault and possession of indecent images, with the ten people aged between 29 years and 61 years from Huyton, Kirkby and Prescot. The day of action is part of ongoing efforts to protect those living in the community as officers aim to "keep our streets safe"
