Appeal for Information following criminal
damage to cars in Sefton
MERSEYSIDE Police Detectives, in the Sefton area, have arrested 2 males, both
aged 20, from the Vauxhall area, following a number of incidents of criminal
damage against cars on Monday, 2 November 2015. The 1st incident took place just
before 10pm, when officers were called to Sankey Road, Maghull to reports a Ford
Fiesta had been in collision with a wall. There was no 1 injured during this
incident and officers believe the car was damaged by a 2nd vehicle. A short time
later, just after 10pm, officers received a report that a BMW, parked on Dodds
Lane, Maghull, had also been damaged by another car. Again no 1 was in the car
at the time and no 1 was injured. Then at around 10.15pm on Sherwoods Lane,
Fazakerley a 3rd car was damaged, again this appeared to have been damaged by a
another vehicle whilst it was empty. Officers were then called to Whitefield
Drive, Kirkby, at around 10.55pm, to reports a Ford Fiesta had fireworks had
been thrown at it. No damage was caused to the vehicle and no 1 was injured. The
final incident took place at around 11.40pm, officers were called to reports of
a Ford Kuga being set alight on Satinwood Crescent, Melling. No 1 was injured
during the incident, but extensive damage was caused to the car. At this stage
detectives are treating all 5 incidents as linked and believe them to be
targeted. Enquiries are on going at this time; crime scene investigators have
been in attendance at each of the scenes, CCTV is being sought from across the
area and house to house enquiries are on going. Detective Inspector Jimmy Belmar
said:- "We are appealing for anyone who was in the area of any of these
incidents to come forward. A car being deliberately damaged by another car
or indeed set alight, is going to make some noise and I'm sure if you saw or
heard anything suspicious you'd remember it. Thankfully no one was injured
during these incidents, but this could have been more serious, especially
the incidents where the cars have been fire damaged. We are particularly
keen to speak to anyone who saw a Ford Kuga or a Mercedes car in the areas
where the incidents took place. Anyone with any information, no matter how
small, is asked to contact Sefton CID on:- 0151 777 3823 or Crimestoppers
anonymously on:- 0800 555 111." |
