WARRANTS
EXECUTED FOLLOWING SHOOTINGS IN MAGHULL
MERSEYSIDE Police has
executed 3 warrants at addresses in Sefton, Thursday, 28 March 2013,
following a number of shootings in Maghull in recent weeks.
A
56 year old man from Maghull has been arrested on suspicion of money
laundering following the seizure of a large amount of cash at an
address in Maghull. He has been taken to a Police station where he
will be questioned by detectives.
A 31 year old man from
Aintree and a 38 year old man from Netherton have both been
cautioned for possession of a controlled drug following the seizure
of a small amount of controlled drugs at addresses in Aintree and
Netherton.
Det Supt Paul Richardson, head of the specialist
Matrix team, said:- "Today we have taken further pro-active
action in our continuing war on gun crime across the force, but
particularly in Maghull. The firearms discharges at street level are
often a symptom of other criminality which is controlled and
influenced by people who will never pull the trigger, or get their
hands dirty. We will focus our actions at all levels and send the
clear message that gun crime will not be tolerated and those who are
involved in this type of crime will bring continued and significant
focus on themselves. These people have brought fear to a community
and we are determined to turn the tables and send out a strong
message to those involved that we will not lose the fight against
gun crime.. We will find and arrest those responsible and put them
through the courts and we will not stand by and watch these people
create a climate of fear and intimidation. Merseyside Police has
invested significant resources to the Sefton area to support the
neighbourhood teams and these resources include officers from the
Matrix, Roads Policing Unit and Mounted and Dog Sections. We will be
here for as long as it takes. We are determined to eradicate this
problem and ensure that the residents of Maghull are happy to go
about their day-to-day business, safe in the knowledge that these
people have been dealt with and taken off the streets. We have had
tremendous support from the community in Maghull and Sefton and I
want to assure them that we are working hard behind the scenes to
build up the evidence which will put these people behind bars. If
you have any information which could help us with our investigations
please come forward, your information could be the vital piece that
we need to complete the jigsaw. We can't do this without the
community and we need you to continue to give us information."
Anyone with information is asked to contact the specialist Matrix
team on:- 0151 777 5687, or Crimestoppers on:- 0800 555 111.

SHOTS FIRED IN
SEFTON
MERSEYSIDE Police are
investigating after shots were fired at a house in Sefton on
Tuesday, 26 March 2013. Officers were called to Dapple Heath Avenue
in the L31 area at around 10.10pm following reports of damage caused
to a house. On arrival they found damage to a front window but
no-one inside was hurt. The scene was cordoned off and house to
house enquiries carried out. Detectives are keen to trace a silver
Ford Fiesta which was seen in Dapple Heath Avenue at around the time
of the shooting. Supt Kevin Johnson said:- "The actions of the
people responsible are reckless in the extreme. They have discharged
a gun at a house in a busy residential area and with people inside.
It is fortunate that no-one was injured or killed. The occupants
have been left extremely shaken up and our investigation will try to
establish why this property was shot at. We will relentlessly pursue
criminals who use firearms on our streets and I would call on anyone
with information to come forward and share it with us so that we can
take action." Call Merseyside Police on:- 101 or
Crimestoppers on:- 0800 555 111.
