Merseyside Police has executed 12 search warrants as part of a joint operation with Tayside Police with a total of 14 arrests being made.
 
Officers arrested 11 people aged between 20 and 36-years-old at addresses in Anfield, Kirkby, Maghull, Bootle, and Norris Green, on suspicion of committing a variety of offences, including conspiracy to supply Class A drugs and possession of a shotgun.

A further search warrant was executed in the Dundee area by Tayside Police. A 41-year-old man from the Maryfield area of Dundee was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply Class A drugs and Tayside Police recovered drugs with an estimated street value of £52,000 during the operation.

And in Widnes, Merseyside Police officers arrested a 49-year-old man and a 33-year-old man on drugs offences.

All those arrested are in custody being questioned by detectives on Merseyside and can confirm that the following people have been charged with conspiracy to supply Class A drugs:

•Terrence Fearns, 32 years, Lincoln Green, Maghull
•Barry Devlin, 32 years, Manningham Road, Bootle
•Marc Constantine, 32 years, Wenning Avenue, Maghull
•Stephen Harrison, 20 years, Chapel Road, Anfield
•Lee Holden, 36 years, Weaver Avenue, Kirkby
•Darral Fitzsimmons, 41 years, Dens Road, Dundee, Scotland
•Paul Campbell, 49 years, Lacey Street, Widnes
•Darren Spendlove, 33 years, Hale Road, Widnes
•Patrick Farley, 23 years, of NFA has also been charged with possession of a shotgun.

All appeared at Liverpool Magistrates Court on Thursday, 26 November.

Detective Inspector Stuart Holmes, Head of Tayside Police’s Drugs Branch, said ‘‘This joint operation is clear evidence of the work we do in partnership with other police forces in the UK. The drug dealers and those involved in serious organised crime do not recognise local or national boundaries and it is vital that police forces do likewise in our efforts to reduce the supply of illegal drugs into all our communities.

‘‘I would appeal to people not to tolerate the dealing of drugs in their area. Contact the police and we will take action. Where we have intelligence and information concerning criminal drugs activity we will act because we are acutely aware of the devastating effect that drugs can and do have on the lives of people living within our communities.

‘‘I would urge people to contact the police if they have any information that could help us to Ditch the Dealer. People can contact Tayside Police directly on 0300 111 2222, speak to local officers, or pass anonymous information via the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.’’
