There's been an accident/incident on Arrowe Park Rd, just before the lights junction with Arrowe Brook Rd. A BMW and a Corsa involved. Plenty of police and ambulance there.

Also spotted a police car racing down Leeswood Rd and even police on foot wheezing into the same road.

There were even police parked in the road that runs parallel with Arrowe Park Rd behind the hedges.

BMW front-end was facing towards the pavement passenger door open. Corsa had mashed left front axle and wheel was sitting on the ground. Driver was still in car looking around, being treated by paramedic.

Reckon it'll be blocked for a while, looked like they were still trying to apprehend someone down the side-roads!

OK, any theories?

Lot more police there now,

OK, I've just been told by a colleague its armed robbers and up until about 10 minutes ago they were still running round the Woodchurch! Think they have them now but loads of roads closed off round the Woody.

The Corsa belongs to a member of staff from the hospital who was on their way to work with their family.

Thats explains all the blue lights on the M53 this morning going the other way.

Yes I was told there was mayhem through the tunnels as a load of cops came across from Liverpool to deal with it.

and ellesmere Port by the look of it.

Three men arrested following cash-in-transit robbery at Co-Op store in Heswall

THREE men have been arrested following a cash-in-transit robbery in Heswall this morning.

Security guards were delivering cash to the Co-Operative store in Pensby Road at about 8.15am when they were approached by four men armed with a sledge hammer and angle grinder.

The men threatened one of the security guards with the sledge hammer and then assaulted him and forced him to hand over a cash box.

They then turned their attention to the cash machine and stole a further quantity of cash.

It is believed the offenders escaped with tens of thousands of pounds.

They got away in a silver BMW, which was found a short while later on nearby Fishers Lane and were seen to get in to a black 4x4 BMW.

A traffic patrol car spotted the BMW on Arrowe Park Road and a pursuit ensued - the offender's vehicle was driven erratically and clipped a number of cars.

The offenders abandoned the car on Arrowe Park Road and officers pursued on foot - as a result three men have been arrested on suspicion of the robbery.

Police have recovered an angle grinder and cash boxes.

The three men are being taken to a police station on Merseyside where they will be interviewed by detectives. A fourth man is being hunted by police.

One of the security guards has been taken to hospital with minor injuries and both security guards have been distressed by the incident.

A couple of motorists who had been in cars on Arrowe Park Road, which were clipped by the offender's vehicle, have also been taken to hospital with minor injuries.

Crime Scene Investigators are carrying out forensic examinations at the scene and house-to-house inquiries will be carried out.

Police are appealing to anyone who may be able to help them with their inquiries to contact 0151 777 5608, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Just been past there on the bus and it looks like half the police are out for this one and the road has been blocked off since it happened, just had to have a nice detour around Greasby.

Thank fook they caught them

One still not caught...

3 out of 4 aint bad though - Im sure he will be rounded up now they have the others

I keep hearing sirens...but maybe that's because I work at the hospital

Or suffering from tinnitus

Wonder if it's the same gang who have been targetting wirral/merseyside banks and jeweller's over the past few months?

They scared the **** out of me when they did Loyds TSB in moreton - my son just stood there and thought it was great but me being a big softy nearly wet myself, lol.

Hope it's the same ones.

Might be linked to this ...

Bet that we hear tomorrow that they've been "released on bail pending further enquiries" GRR

Why don't these shops have the old drop shelves, they all seem to have shutters and smoke, neither of which are particularly effective. If the shelf drops down beyond reach it is much more effective.

Some how think they are not related to the Jewel crooks

In a perfect world, when they are found guilty, they would be sentenced to 15 years in prison; but I would be surprised if they get 4!!

Either way, it's excellent that they caught them (or at least 3 out of 4).

Noooo, he learnt to read inside, was doing time for attempted armed robbery I believe... forgot to put enough fuel in the getaway car lol.

Hello All,

I've been on here a few times but never reg'd. I was present just after the accident and managed to get a pic. Not very clear i know. The car wasnt a corsa but a C3 and was hit on the passenger side front destroying most of the wing and causing significant damage to the front suspension, driveshaft, susp, hub, breaks all detached. BMW was being pursued by the police at the time and was travelling at a significant speed (50-65mph approx).
