Detective inspector Dan McWhinnie said: “Our streets are made safer with every weapon we take out of circulation and every arrest we make in relation to firearms.
“We are committed to taking firearms off our streets and, rest assured, if you tell us about any suspected possession or offences we will take action and put those responsible before the courts.
“Merseyside Police pro-actively investigates serious organised crime including the use of guns and the supply and distribution of drugs on Merseyside and is relentless in its pursuit of offenders.
“We will always take immediate action to incidents involving guns and we are actively working to make Merseyside a safer place to live and work.
“Information from the public is vital if we are to breakdown the organised crime groups who bring misery to our streets. It is vital that members of our communities come forward with information so we can make our communities safer for the decent, law abiding people who live in areas affected by gun crime.”
