POLICE arrested three suspected drug dealers, including a 16-year-old girl, after executing a warrant.
Officers entered a property in Thatto Heath at around 9am on Wednesday morning (May 13).
A large quantity of cannabis and an air pistol was seized by police.
A 48-year-old woman and a 20-year-old man from Thatto Heath, and a 16-year-old girl from St Helens were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class B drugs.
They have all been released under investigation.
Inspector Neil Birkett, from the St Helens Targeted Team, said: "This warrant is just the latest proactive policing activity aimed at disrupting criminals who store and supply drugs on our streets.
“Despite current restrictions, we have continued to execute warrants, stop search offenders and search land, recovering drugs and making arrests.
“Be assured if you tell us where drugs are being stored and sold, we will take firm action to take them off the streets and put the people who supply them before the courts.”
