MERSEYSIDE Police Detectives investigating the recovery of a shotgun, on Friday, 6 October 2017, in Maghull, has resulted in charging of Joseph Saunderson (20), from Kirkby, in connection with the offence. He appeared in Sefton Adult Remand Court, on Monday, 9 October 2017. Merseyside Police are now appealing for further information. Detective Inspector Robbie Moss said:- "Another recovery means one less firearm and ammunition on our streets that could be used to cause fear, intimidation or harm. We would urge anyone with information on this incident or the storage and use of firearms to speak to us, so we can continue to take positive action and make your streets safer. We are still proactively investigating this incident and we are still looking for any witnesses or people with information to identify anyone else who may have been involved in this incident. We believe that the men ran off from the area of Ormonde Drive and if you were in the vicinity around 1.45pm and saw anything, please get in touch and I can assure you we will act on all information provided."  Forensic enquiries are ongoing in relation to the ammunition, shotgun and suspected stolen Audi recovered, close to disused garages, on Park Road, Kirkby.
