Three men have been arrested after trying to escape the police by fleeing on foot from a stolen car. The black Peugeot had been taken illegally from Bootle 40 minutes earlier with officers from a number of teams working together to locate the vehicle and detain the three suspects.
Officers from Operation Pelican worked together with colleagues from the Matrix Vehicle Enforcement Team (MVET) and the Sefton Targeted Team.
The incident was recounted on the official Merseyside Police South Sefton Twitter account, along with a photograph of the Peugeot, in a post that was uploaded at 3.41am this morning (Wednesday, February 22).
