Merseyside Police were deployed to Southport yesterday (19/02/2020). The aim of Operation Vermont was as follows:
• Reassurance to local communities
• Reduce crime and disorder
• Reduce the operating capacity of organised criminal gangs
• Develop an intelligence picture in these areas
• Improve Road safety
As a result of the operation 7 people were arrested for varied offences including drug supply possession of a section 5 firearm and Drug Driving. Numerous stop and searches were carried out and new Intel submitted along with the seizure of cash and other weapons.
Some of the tactics used yesterday were as a result of community feedback. We continue to seek this feedback and ask that you click the link below to provide us with your thoughts and opinions and what you would like to see next time. Your answers will remain anonymous.
