Inspector Mark Keenan, fromMatrix Operations, said: The arrest of seven people this afternoon is the result of a lot of meticulous, hard work by our investigation teams.We are investigating the possibility that the consumption of excess alcohol and drugs on coaches have been contributory factors in recent incidents of disorder, and todays activity is the direct result of that work.It has been supported by partners includingEverton Football Cluband the Driving Standards Agency, and its primary aim is to protect people of all ages who want to go to football matches to support their team free from the fear of violence and disorder, and to ensure law-abiding citizens including families are not exposed to the taking of illicit drugs.The overwhelming majority of fans conduct themselves with dignity and are a credit to the city, and the vast majority of bus operators are compliant with legislation put in place to guarantee the safety of all passengers.“Their good name should not be tarnished by a minority who do not uphold the same standards of behaviour.Insp Keenan added: Class A drugs blight the lives of the people who become addicted to them.”
