FOOTBALL BOOK TO
RAISE FUNDS FOR HILLSBOROUGH
A former footballer has
drawn on his love of the beautiful game to write his 1st book and
raise funds for those affected by the Hillsborough tragedy.
Dangerous Score, by Mike Bearcroft, tells the story of a rising
young footballer whose life and career are threatened when he is
linked with the disappearance of a young woman - and proceeds from
sales of the book will be donated to the Hillsborough Families
Support Group.
Members of the group, formed to commemorate those killed and injured
at the Sheffield Stadium in 1989, will join a host of sporting and

Mike, who was a junior player and goalkeeper with Sheffield United
FC and later became Chairman of Corby Town FC and sponsor of
Rothwell Town and Kettering FC, described the book as:- "a
roller coaster ride of football, mystery, love, crime and even more
football. I've had a life long passion for football so when I
decided to write a novel I knew the game would be at the heart of
it. I've always had a deep admiration for the Hillsborough Families
Support Group and have forged strong links with them over the years
so it seemed fitting that they benefit from the sale of the book."

E-FIT -
ROBBERIES - AINTREE AND FAZAKERLEY
MERSEYSIDE Police have released an e-fit of a
male detectives would like to speak to in relation to three
incidents that occurred shortly before 7am on Sunday, 14 October
2012, in the Aintree and Fazakerley areas.
At about 6.50am two males were cycling along Melling Road in Aintree
when they were approached by two males armed with, what is believed
to be, a handgun. The males threatened the cyclists before taking
cash, a mobile phone and their bicycles from them and riding away
in. Although uninjured the victims have been left very shaken
following the incident.
The 1st offender is described as being white, of a slim build
wearing dark coloured clothing.
The 2nd offender is described as being white, of a heavy build
wearing a light coloured hooded top.
A short time later a motorist on Wango Lane reported
seeing a male carrying, what is believed to be, a handgun. The male
is described as being white, of a slim build wearing dark coloured
clothing. At 7am, a woman was de-icing her car, a black
Peugeot 207, on Elizabeth Road when she was approached by a male on
a bicycle armed with a knife. The male threatened the woman before
taking her vehicle and leaving his bike behind.
Although uninjured the woman has been left very
shaken following the incident. The offender is described as being
white, of a heavy build with a pale complexion. He was wearing dark
coloured clothing. Following the initial report of the robbery on
Melling Road officers were deployed to the area and a search was
undertaken. During the search a bicycle was recovered. Detectives
are investigating all three incidents and are keeping an open mind
as to whether all 3 are linked.
House-to-house enquiries have been undertaken and CCTV is being
sought and high visibility patrols have been stepped up in these
areas. Detectives are keen to speak to the male featured in the
e-fit and would urge him or anyone who recognises him to make
contact.
Detective Inspector John Williams from Marsh Lane CID, said:-
"Merseyside Police takes incidents of this nature extremely
seriously and we appeal to anyone with any information to come
forward so we can take robust action against those responsible.
While these incidents were obviously very distressing for the
victims, offences of this nature are rare and we are appealing to
members of the public to contact us if they have any information
that could help the investigation. We are particularly keen to speak
to anyone who may have witnessed any of these incidents or anyone
who saw males in these areas that match these descriptions at around
7am on Sunday, 14 October 2012. Information that seems trivial may
turn out to be crucial for us in catching these offenders."
An investigation into the full circumstances of the incident is
ongoing. Please provide any information to Marsh Lane CID office
on:- 0151 777 3844 or Crimestoppers on:- 0800 555 111.
