A drugs haul worth £200,000 has been uncovered in a kitchen after police raided a home.
130 cannabis plants were discovered growing in the kitchen during the raid, which saw cops seize a number of offensive weapons.
Police have confirmed two men, aged 57 and 19, have been arrested and remain under investigation.
Officers seized 2kg of cannabis with a street value of approximately £200k and items worth over £100,000 under the proceeds of crime act, including nine motorbikes, numerous pairs of designer shoes and an 80” TV.
A senior policewoman has issued a warning to other drug dealers operating in the area that they will be brought to justice.
The raid on the house took place on Washington Drive in the Towerhill area of Kirkby, according to Liverpool Echo.
Community Policing Sergeant Sarah Hughes for Merseyside Polce, said: “Thanks to our officers, a large cannabis farm is no longer putting the community at risk of fire and flood, as well as violence and criminal exploitation.
“No law abiding person wants to live next-door to such death-traps and we do all we can to make the streets safer.
“Our message to those involved in drug dealing on Merseyside is simple: however hard you try, you cannot escape justice. We will continue to do everything in our power to disrupt organised crime groups and put offenders before the courts.
“A massive help in those efforts is information from the community - no-one should have to put up with drug dealing and the associated violence and gun crime it brings, and if it is happening where you live, we want you to tell us so we can take action.
