A teenager was arrested after drugs and cash were found at a property on Wirral.

On Wednesday (June 12) police spotted a silver Volkswagen on Arrowe Park Road in Upton. A male got out of the car and ran off towards Arrowe Brook Road.

Officers pursued on foot and he was caught in the garden of a property on nearby Mavis Drive.

He was found to have a large amount of cannabis and more than £1,000 in his possession.

A further search was carried out at an address where a large amount of cannabis and drugs paraphernalia were seized.

As a result, a 17-year-old male from Egremont was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a controlled Class B drug, cannabis, possession of criminal property and criminal damage to property under £5,000. He is still in police custody to be questioned.
