Merseyside Police has arrested a teenager and recovered an imitation handgun following an incident yesterday, Wednesday 15 November.
At around 10.40pm, officers acting on information attended Linacre Lane Bootle and located a suspected imitation handgun in an alleyway. Upon examination, it was found to be a high-powered BB gun.
A 16-year-old Bootle boy was arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm and was taken to a police station for questioning by detectives.
Detective Inspector Robbie Moss: "This latest recovery means there is one less firearm on our streets, and continues our recent successes in recovering real and imitation firearms. While this is an imitation weapon, it could have been used to create fear in our communities, and potentially used in serious and organised criminality.
"Its discovery shows yet again how vital that information from the community can be in our fight against gun crime.
"We continue to be relentless in our pursuit of those involved in gun crime and will continue to respond to information to make our streets safer. Iād urge anyone who has any information about firearms in their community, to get in contact with officers from the Matrix Serious and Organised Crime gun crime hotline on 0800 230 0600 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.ā
