Following a search, the vehicle was found to contain a significant quantity of volatile precursor chemicals used in the production of controlled drugs.

A 63 year old local man was later arrested in the Waterloo Quay area by Organised Crime Partnership Officers and questioned at Merseyside Police premises.

The subject has since been released under investigation.
