Merseyside Police executed a search warrant at a house in Ellaby Road, Rainhill and found a cannabis farm with growing equipment in two upstairs rooms.

"Criminal groups involved in the growing of cannabis are often involved in other serious organised crime," said Acting Insp Neil Birkett.
"They often use residential houses such as this in the heart of our communities."
