Ben Rossington,
"GANGSTERS are forcing single mothers and pensioners to hide guns in their homes.
To avoid the risk of being caught with a weapon, thugs are threatening and intimidating the most vulnerable members of society – single mothers, older residents, or families seen as a soft touch – and stashing firearms in their houses.
Officers from Merseyside’s anti-gun and anti-gang Matrix team have recovered 12 such weapons in the past six weeks, taking them off the streets and out of the hands of gangsters."
