A large number of high performance car parts and a stash of cash were found after police raided a lock-up.
A 36-year-old man from the Anfield area was arrested on suspicion of a number of offences after Merseyside Police raided the lock-up on Friday, March 3. Officers from Merseyside Police's Pelican operation, an ongoing campaign to combat gang violence in north Merseyside, raided the lock-up where they found a large number of high performance car parts.
One of the parts has since been confirmed to belong to a BMW X4 M4OD which was stolen in 2022 during a burglary in Harrogate, Yorkshire. An image released by Sefton police officers showed a room full of car parts in a large pile.
