Hundreds of police officers have taken to the streets of Liverpool as part of a crackdown on crime.
A convoy of police vehicles left Merseyside Police headquarters earlier for the operation targeting criminals in the Anfield area.
The day of action is the second which has taken place since Chief Constable Rob Carden took up his post, in September last year, with a promise to take those involved in criminality “off the streets”.
“The scale and impact of today’s operation should leave criminals in absolutely no doubt – we are here, we are watching and, if you are involved in criminality, you can expect a knock on your door,” he said.
