During one of our continued patrols of Botanic Gardens in Southport and the surrounding area, three 20 year old men were stop searched after making off from officers in the park late on Monday night, 10th August. One of the three was found in possession of cannabis, was arrested and this has been dealt with by Community Resolution.
Investigations continue into other incidents in the park involving a younger group of boys and girls.
The area remains a priority area for us to patrol and a record is being made of the time spent patrolling the area.
