People living in fear of 'Balaclava Gang' beg police for help

People claim police have been rendered powerless as masked-up yobs terrorise their once quiet streets.

People living on Leominster Road and Greenheys Road in Liscard say they are scared to leave their homes as a gang of balaclava-clad yobs patrol the streets, causing mayhem. Not only have people living in the area explained the misery of living in fear, but they have also hit out at Merseyside Police and Wirral Council, pleading for more to be done to help them.

One dad who lives on Leominster Road told the ECHO about the ongoing issues plaguing the street as the gang is said to have intimidated people, patrolled the roads and even kicked people's doors off their hinges. They walk around with their faces covered "looking" for ways to break into people's homes and earlier this week six cars across Leominster Road and Greenheys Road were damaged in an early morning vandalism spree.
