I said that the Central Square story might not be QLocal's one and only Maghull news item - and I was right!

Late yesterday afternoon, Police arrested three people and seized around £100,000, along with four vehicles and six bikes and a designer watch after an incident which started in Maghull.

At around 4.30pm, a male was sighted by Matrix officers riding an electric bike on Northway in an erratic manner, weaving in and out of traffic. He was detained on Liverpool Road South and the bike seized.

Afterwards, a 15-year-old boy from Great Altcar was arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle and other driving offences and taken into custody; he has since been released under investigation as enquiries continue.

A further search of an address in Lancashire resulted in around £100,000 in cash being found. This was seized, along with a Rolex watch, Land Rover, Ford Transit van, two Jaguar vehicles, and six off road bikes.

A 39-year-old man and a 35-year-old woman, both from Great Altcar, were arrested on suspicion of possession of criminal property and have been taken into custody for questioning.

Matrix Priority Crime Team Inspector Andy Cunningham said: “The criminal and anti-social use of bikes will not be tolerated on our streets and can cause fear, alarm and catastrophic road traffic collisions. Our enquiries continue into this incident and the items subsequently seized.

“We’ll continue to be proactive to maintain the safety on our roads, and to target any associated criminality."
