A two-day police crackdown on drug dealing has led to 28 arrests in Merseyside.

Police said officers targeted stations and trains across the rail network as well as roads to “dismantle” drug trafficking routes in Sefton.

Merseyside Police said 23 children and vulnerable adults were rescued and £10,000 in cash was seized on October 23 and 24 after areas of Southport and Bootle were targeted.

Thirteen of those arrested were held on suspicion of possession with intent to supply and Class A and Class B drug supply offences.
