A 34-YEAR-OLD man who was arrested following a police raid on a property which saw three kilograms of drugs seized has been released under investigation.

At around 10.45pm on Tuesday (September 12), a warrant was executed by officers at a house in Ridgewood Drive, Sutton Leach.

Suspected cocaine, heroin, cannabis and amphetamines were recovered from the house and a caravan outside.

Drugs paraphernalia was also recovered.

The 34-year-old man from St Helens was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply drugs.

A Merseyside Police spokesman confirmed that he was released under investigation on Wednesday afternoon (September 13).

After the raid, Local Policing Sergeant Paul Meath said: "This significant recovery will take away a large amount of suspected drugs out of circulation in St Helens.

"Drugs were stored in the house including the freezer, which in itself is extremely reckless.

“Communities are vital in providing information which enables such positive action to be taken, and we will act on all information given. We need to stand together to take drugs out of circulation, as they lead to further criminality and harm.

“I would urge members of the public to keep coming forward with information so we can keep our streets safe and put these offenders before the courts.

"I would appeal to anyone who has information to contact us on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. You can also use their online form: crimestoppers-uk.org/give-information/give-information."
