Shoppers 'forced to buy' fake Chanel and Hugo Boss perfume filled with urine

Three teenagers were arrested after being found with fake perfume filled with urine at a train station.

Merseyside Police made the arrests following complaints of men using "aggressive sales tactics" to peddle cheap perfume in Southport town centre. Police said reports involved the men trying to force shoppers on Chapel Street to take cash out to buy perfume that they were selling for cheap prices.

On July 20, officers stopped two men on Scarisbrick Street but they had no perfume with them. A short time later, five bottles of perfume were found inside a carrier bag dumped over a wall nearby.
