The two men were arrested by officers from Operation Pelican, an ongoing campaign launched in 2017 to combat the drug trade and gang violence in Bootle, Netherton, Litherland, and the surrounding areas.

The arrest was announced on the Twitter account of Merseyside Police's South Sefton area.

The tweet said: "Operation Pelican officers have this afternoon arrested a 77-year-old and a 21-year-old male in the Waterloo area for drug supply offences."
