Almost four weeks after the initial discovery, officers remain at the scene. Merseyside police told the ECHO detectives and forensic officers remain within a cordon in the area, to carry out their investigation and examinations.

Detective Inspector Katie Coote said: "Local residents may have noticed that officers remain at the scene and that’s because we are still investigating this incident. We are still appealing for anyone with information to come forward and I want to reassure people that it’s not too late to get in touch.

"Any information you have, no matter how small you may think it is, could be vital to our ongoing enquiries. If you have any information about this incident or know of any suspected drugs in your area, please contact our social media desk on Twitter @Merseypolice, or Facebook 'Merseyside Police Contact Centre' quoting reference 23000445923. Alternatively you can call the independent @CrimestoppersUK hotline anonymously on 0800 555 111."
