The Harbour Police are investigating a report of a robbery onboard a Stena Line ferry to Belfast from Birkenhead last week.
Kevin Shields, who is from Birmingham, was travelling to Belfast overnight on Thursday to spend time with family when he noticed belongings missing from his car, which was parked in the ferry deck. He says passengers were advised by staff to disable their car alarms, to minimise disruption to those in the cabins.
But when Kevin struggled to disable his, he left his car unlocked, knowing that the deck would be locked and secure during the sailing to Belfast. On return to his vehicle, he said a mobile phone and other items were gone.
