Officers tweeted a picture of a door being out through with a battering ram they dubbed "the big red key" after swoop in Kirkby this morning.

A Merseyside Police spokesman said: "The warrants were carried out as a result of intelligence coming in from the community."
Searches were ongoing at the properties this morning.
