Firearms recovered Bootle and Walton
ACCORDING to Merseyside Police, 3 firearms have been found in Liverpool and
Sefton on Thursday, 24 March 2016. Officers discovered a sawn off shotgun and
ammunition while searching a disused railway line near Warton Street, Bootle.
After a while, 2 more weapons in the park near Moor Lane were found.
Detective Inspector Nick Price said:- "The recoveries yesterday and today mean
there are four less firearms on our streets that could be used to cause fear,
harm or even worse in our communities. We are relentless in our pursuit of those
involved in gun crime and will continue to carry out searches such as these to
make our streets safer.
Information from the community is vital in our fight against gun crime and these
discoveries have been brought about through continued work with the community as
part of our ongoing pursuit to reduce firearms possession and discharges across
Merseyside. All of these firearms will be taken away and examined by crime scene
investigators. I'd urge anyone who has any information about firearms in their
community, to get in contact with officers from the Matrix Serious and Organised
Crime gun crime hotline on:- 0800 230 0600 or Crimestoppers anonymously on:-
0800 555 111."
