Both were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a Class A drug.
Inspector Simon Wilson said: “Fortunately, thanks to the quick-wittedness of our patrols in Southport last night, these harmful drugs have now been prevented from reaching our communities.
“Public information plays a critical role in targeting individuals involved in the supply of drugs and serious and organized crime, and I would like to continue to urge our communities to come forward to us, or to Crimestoppers on a completely anonymous basis, in order to that we can take action. ”
Anyone with information on the drug supply is asked to contact @MerPolCC, 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously on 0800 555 111.
