http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-34433010 Version 0 of 1. Police have uncovered a massive haul of drugs worth an estimated £25m, including dozens of bags of white powder stuffed inside a fridge. An estimated 330lbs (150kg) of what is believed to be mephedrone and amphetamine were found hidden in a flat in Garston, south Liverpool, on Friday. Officers were led to the flat in Lowbridge Court after Merseyside Police followed a car to a tyre fitting yard. Five men have been arrested on suspicion of drugs offences. Titan, the regional organised crime unit in north-west England, said the Ford Fiesta was tailed to a unit on the Huyton Industrial Estate in Huyton. About 24,000 ecstasy tablets, 9lbs (4kg) of amphetamine and 2lbs (1kg) of cocaine was seized - some of which were hidden within a tyre. Further enquiries led detectives to the flat, where the huge find was discovered. The arrested men, aged between 22 and 44, are in police custody for questioning. |
