Birkenhead is viewed as a ‘back door’ for fugitives seeking to sneak back into England, it has been claimed.
The suggestion was made on the podcast of an ex-detective hunting Liverpool’s most wanted man. An unnamed source, said to be a UK Border Force official, argued the ferry from Belfast to Wirral was being exploited by criminals, some using fake passports.
In response the Home Office said it takes “security at the border extremely seriously”.
