Three people arrested as sighting of 'suspicious' man leads to police finding drugs, cash and a machete
Three people, including a 25-year-old man from Ashton, were arrested last night.
A Wigan man was among three people arrested in Merseyside as police seized suspected class B drugs, cash and a machete.
Officers on patrol in Huyton on Tuesday night saw a man acting suspiciously, so carried out a stop-search and discovered a small bag of white powder believed to be ketamine.
A search of his home revealed more suspected ketamine and cannabis, drug paraphernalia, several mobile phones, cash and a machete.
While officers were searching the property’s back garden, they found two people hiding under leaves and garden waste.
Police said they were also searched and found to be in possession of suspected drugs, cash and “graft” phones, while two more phones and snap bags were found at one of their homes.
A 25-year-old man from Ashton, 20-year-old man from Huyton and 17-year-old boy from Kirkby were arrested on suspicion of possession of class B drugs with intent to supply.
