"We are still very keen to speak to anyone else who may have driven across the Silver Jubilee/Runcorn Bridge between 8.30-9pm on Saturday, and saw a man acting suspiciously.
"You may have information that could prove vital to our enquiries as we try to piece together exactly what took place.
"We are particularly keen to hear from anyone who has dashcam and drove over the bridge at that time - please check for anything that might be significant and send it to us."
