Police stage Christmas campaign at Liverpool Airport
23.12.07
Law breakers who couldn't resist the lure of coming home for Christmas have been caught out by a police campaign at Liverpool Airport. During a day-long operation - named 'Operation Turn-Up' - officers arrested a number of people and persuaded others with outstanding fines to pay up on the spot.
During the operation two people were arrested for drug importation after police found a large quantity of cannabis on an in-bound flight from Amsterdam and five others were dealt with for the possession of controlled drugs.
The officers also seized two cars attempting to gain entry to the airport, recovered a large quantity of cash from a known Liverpool-criminal under the Proceeds of Crime Act, arrested seven people for public order offences, arrested one passenger who had to be evicted by police from an aeroplane for being drunk and disorderly and forced three people with outstanding court fines to pay up or face arrest.
