Officers seize large amount of cash and Class A drugs in St Helens raid

Officers have yesterday (1st April) arrested a 27 year old man from St Helens following a drugs warrant in Brompton Close, St Helens in the early hours of yesterday morning.

Upon arrival, officers searched the residential property where they seized a large quantity of cash as well as a significant amount of white powder, both in blocks, bags and wraps, suspected to be Class A drugs.

In addition to this, officers also recovered a stolen off road bike and two other bikes also suspected to be stolen.

Inspector Neil Birkett said: “This was a successful warrant which has allowed us to take a large amount of dangerous and deadly drugs out of circulation.

“Drug dealers do not care for the wellbeing of those taking their produce which means that users can be left vulnerable to horrific consequences.

“Do you know someone involved in drug crime? Maybe people you don’t know are hanging around your area? If you have information that could help us investigating this offence or a similar one, then please get in touch.”

The 27 year old man was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs, handling stolen goods and possession of a controlled drug and taken to custody for questioning.

The male has since been released from police custody pending further investigation. Once all evidence is gathered this will be referred to the crown prosecution service for a charging decision.
