Prada trainers, designer clothing, cash and a black BMW were among the items seized by police in the latest crackdown on County Lines drug gangs.
Officers from Merseyside Police carried out raids in Everton today, April 28, where a 28-year-old man and a 26-year-old woman were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in making an offer to supply.
The arrests came after an investigation into County Lines drug dealing in the Colwyn Bay area of Wales, as part of Project Medusa.
Project Medusa is an ongoing operation led by Merseyside Police to tackle County Lines drug dealing and child criminal exploitation.

A haul of designer items were also seized as part of the investigation today, including Gucci sandals and a Moncler coat.
Detective Inspector Gary Stratton: “Project Medusa is dedicated to cutting these County Lines dead and as this investigation has shown, regional boundaries do not matter.
"We work with partners in other forces to trace those responsible and help those who may be exploited by these organised criminal gangs.
“Ultimately everyone should be warned that if you get involved in crime, you risk facing the consequences.
"But when we identify vulnerable, exploited people during our enquiries, we ensure they are treated with sensitivity and understanding, and are offered the appropriate support.
"Our primary target is those who seek to use them for their own selfish gain.”
