A suspect was named by police after the attempted robbery of a Halifax Bank and post office.
Merseyside Police rushed to Bootle Strand Shopping Centre at around 12.25pm on Monday, May 30, following reports of a man firing a gun inside. Once officers arrived at the scene they were told by eyewitnesses the shots were fired at Halifax bank and the man made off from the scene on a dark mountain bike.
No injuries were reported but members of staff and customers in the bank were left "extremely shaken" by the incident, police said. Two days later police rushed to Park Lane Post Office in Netherton at around 3.15pm after a man entered the shop and demanded cash from the till.
