Two cordons were set up after a cash-in-transit robbery at a Shell petrol station.
Merseyside Police confirmed that at around 12.40pm officers received reports that two men grabbed a cash box from a security guard at the Shell station on Liverpool Road in Huyton. No threats are believed to have been made or injuries caused.
A short time later officers received a report that a white van had crashed into a lamppost on Elmswood Grove, a short distance from the scene of the robbery, and that the cash box had been left on the road with coins in it. CCTV and witness enquiries are currently under way.
