Man arrested after what police discovered stashed in latex gloves - Liverpool Echo

A police dog found a pair of latex gloves stuffed full of suspected cocaine and cannabis after a man failed a drugs wipe. Merseyside Police stopped a vehicle on Townsend Avenue in Norris Green at around 12.30am this morning, Tuesday, February 25.

After the driver tested positive following a drugs wipe, police dog Obi was called in to the scene and quickly found a pair of latex gloves stashed in the car which contained multiple wraps of suspected class A and B drugs. A 44-year-old man from Kirkby has been arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a controlled class A drug (cocaine) and class B drug (cannabis) and drug driving.

Merseyside Police Detective Inspector Neil Dillon said: "Thanks to the pro-active work of officers and of course the ability of police dog Obi, we have been able to remove suspected class A and B drugs from our streets and also make an arrest. We know that criminals use our road networks to transport ill-gotten cash and property, drugs and weapons.

"Preventing them from doing so deals a significant blow to their ability to commit crime, and helps us put them before the courts. No criminal should profit from misery while our wider law abiding communities work hard to earn an honest living. If you know someone involved in crime, please let us know so we can take them off our streets."
