This isn't very exciting, and is straight from the Warrington Police Facebook page, although it's been faithfully rehashed elsewhere by the local rag.
The Wolverhampton angle is slightly interesting though, as is the accompanying photo
And a tad amusing the way the Wolves LO is standing slightly back - I mean, that's presumably a local HC, over which the Wolves LO will have zero jurisdiction. Presumably.
And it's not even clear if local LOs were involved...
Also interesting that several breaches were found, while normally the Wolves PR machine seems to only publicise operations when there's a clean bill of health
Not much in the way of specifics, though, and certainly makes it sound like nothing too serious was found.
Unlike in you-know-where
But in actual fact the stuff below is mainly PR blather.

This evening, Warrington South Neighbourhood police, supported by taxi licencing officers, conducted a joint operation together to focus on licensed passenger vehicles, primarily in the Town Centre and Stockton Heath areas.
Several taxis were checked, and working alongside Wolverhampton licensing officers several breaches of licence conditions were reported.
Through Operation Confederation, we are working with our partner organisations to provide reassurance to those using taxis in Warrington that they are safe to use and road worthy, with enforcement action being taken where appropriate. Cheshire Police will continue to support the legitimate taxi drivers of Warrington throughout, ensuring those enjoying a night out in Warrington can return home safely.
