At 11.30 unmarked police car with stick on blue light and marked police estate, possibly ARV, flew past me by the Acorn ,Bebington, earlier than the report says the robbery was though.

Just txt a mate who works in Moreton. Pretty much what you already know. Said they had ski masks on, and guns also burnt one of the getaway cars. Hopefully no one hurt. Very shaken tho, would imagine.

Take some bottle to do that literally down the road from the Police Station.

I wondered why plod were everywhere whilst I driving through Moreton, thought it was a tad strange for them all to be lingering like a bad smell just because of a car fire (thought they were all using it as an excuse to skive lol).

Madness to risk Moreton cross traffic at that time of day as well. Hopefully they will be caught in time though, just a shame under this Labour government they will probably get a slap on the wrist.

It might have been the govt what done it. They've got to get a load of brass from somewhere.

Any self-respecting criminal with the intelligence to pull this off, would be virtually untraceable via IP anyway.

The dumbest ones would just use someone elses wifi connection, the clever ones would use a series of proxies.

Trust me, trying to chase hackers (well hacker wannabe's) is nigh on pointless nowadays, my security team rarely bother after the initial trace nowadays as you get so far and realise your just wasting your time or stuck in a loop.

OMG I am such a total feckwit - I read this earlier and thought it was Lloyds the chemist. The penny has only just dropped.
I scare myself sometimes

I saw this in person - traffic wasn't an issue as there was a white fiesta blocking both lanes of moreton cross roundabout to ensure the get away car could well, erm - get away, lol.

very scary for my 4 year old son though - he keeps asking me where the bad men have gone and if they'll be back?

fire engine arrived 10 minutes after it all happened but chadwick st. police station is literally 30 seconds away on foot behind the bank??????????
