Police arrested two men in Bootle. It happened on Tuesday, February 18. Officers noticed a grey BMW while patrolling Strand Road.

The car smelled strongly of cannabis. Police searched the vehicle and found a device used to scan car keys. It could also track vehicles.

Officers discovered clothing inside. They think it was worn during burglaries that happened in Crosby the previous week. The men face charges.

One man is 25, from Ainsdale, while the other is 21, from Crosby. Both were arrested on suspicion of attempted burglary and preparing for theft. Police are questioning them.

A detective leads the Burglary Team, carrying out an operation called Operation Castle. It aims to reduce burglaries, as burglaries negatively affect residents.

The police want help from the public to catch criminals. Report any suspicious activity to the police. You can call 999 if a crime is happening, otherwise, call 101 or use X for other reports.
