A robbery investigation is underway after a man targeted a security guard outside a Tesco Express and then left his getaway van burning in a residential street.
The incident occurred outside Tesco Express on Princess Drive, Dovecot, at around 9am today (Friday). Merseyside Police received reports that a man had grabbed a cash box off the guard during a cash-in-transit delivery.
The suspect was described as dressed all in black, wearing a baseball cap and with his face covered. He then fled the scene in a white transit van. Police received reports a short while later that a van was on fire on Snowberry Road, by the corner of Croxdale Road, and Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service attended to put out the flames.
