A 40 year-old woman has been arrested after police found four kilos of drugs in a freezer during a raid in south Liverpool.
Police made the find yesterday morning as they executed a warrant in a house on Evergreen Close in Netherley.
Photographs taken by police at the scene showed the drugs were stored alongside frozen chips and a loaf.
A woman, 40, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs. She was taken into custody for questioning and has since been released under investigation.
Sergeant Thomas Griffiths said to the ECHO : “Storing drugs – in this case, in the freezer – dealing drugs or using drugs is extremely dangerous and can lead to serious consequences.
“Those involved in drug crime are not respectable members of the community and often only care for their own financial gain, rather than the health and safety of their friends, families and neighbours who will likely feel the repercussions of this criminal activity.
“We conduct these warrants off the back of the community reaching out to us and telling us what they’re concerned about which allows us to build an investigative picture of a person, gang, property or wider area which means we can target those involved in illegal activity more efficiently.
