'Large quantity' of cocaine and cannabis found in city centre property

Two men and a woman were arrested after a large quantity of cocaine and cannabis was found in a city centre property. Police carried out a warrant at a property on Grafton Street, in Liverpool, on Tuesday, September 17 and discovered a large amount of suspected Class A drugs and equipment associated with drugs supply.

Following inquiries, a 29-year-old woman from Liverpool, a 31-year-old man from Liverpool and a 30-year-old man from Moreton were all arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of a Class A drug (cocaine) and a Class B drug (cannabis). All three people remain in custody.

The investigation is part of the Merseyside Organised Crime Partnership (OCP), a partnership with the National Crime Agency (NCA) which was introduced in 2021, to protect the public from organised crime groups. Detective Inspector Laura Parr said: “Thanks to pro-active work into the supply of drugs, we have recovered a large quantity of suspected Class A drugs destined for our streets and further afield and arrested three people.

"Drug dealing and organised crime is hugely damaging to our communities, often involving intimidation, violence and creating fear where criminals involved have no thought for anyone other than themselves. Drugs, and the violence that goes hand in hand with those involved in trying to tout them, can have a devastating impact and we are committed to getting these predatory criminals off our streets, ending their drugs trade and getting help for those who are suffering from addiction.

"I would ask anyone who has any information about who is supplying or selling drugs in their area to contact us so we can continue to take action.”
