Chief Constable Bernard Hogan-Howe, who took part in a raid on a house in Wirral, said last night: "The addresses targeted have been chosen thanks to intelligence received from the local community.
"Confidence that officers will act on information they receive has meant that an increased number of people are prepared to pass on intelligence."
