Police have arrested three people following raids in Bootle and Seaforth.
Drugs, weapons and cash were found at six homes on Saturday morning as officers executed a series of Misuse of Drugs Act warrants.
A flat just off Seaforth Road saw 40 bags of both heroin and cannabis seized alongside two machetes and a quantity of cash.
Two 17-year-old males were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply and taken to a local police station to be questioned by detectives.
A further two bags of heroin were recovered from a house in Seaforth Road itself, where a teenage boy was arrested on suspicion of possession of a controlled drug.
Four more warrants were executed in the surrounding area but did not lead to any further arrests or seizures.
The raids were in response to information from the public about drug dealing and organised crime in the area.
Chief Inspector Paul Court said: “I am delighted with today’s results.
“We’ve taken drugs off the street of Bootle, we’ve seized cash from suspected criminals’ hands and arrested three people.
“I am grateful for the support we continue to receive from the community as it allows us to target those involved in criminality so please keep the information coming in as it is invaluable.
“Last weekend we used new and improved stop and search powers to go after those who choose to deal drugs and carry firearms, putting the rest of the community at risk.
“This weekend we have used other powers and tactics to take our message through their front door.
“And the message is this: The people of Sefton won’t tolerate your behaviour and neither will Merseyside Police.
“If you chose to continue with your criminal activity, then we will continue to work around the clock to come after you at every opportunity we get.”
