APPEAL FOR INFORMATION OVER MAN FOUND IN SOUTHPORT
POLICE
Officers in Southport are appealing for information about a man who
was found on Saturday, 19 December 2009 and have released his
picture in an attempt to identify him.
The man was found by officers at the junction of Hill Street and
Lord Street in Southport.
It would appear that the man has previously suffered a stroke and
has no ability to speak. He was hospitalised overnight and has since
been placed in a care home.
The man has been able to communicate with officers by giving written
answers. He has given some information to officers that appear to be
incorrect but it is possible that he lived with relatives in
Southport. He appears to be confused and could only give limited
details.
Officers have taken steps to try to identify the man, but they have
come to no avail.
He is described as white, approximately 5ft 5" tall with a slimbuild.
He is balding, with some grey hair and clean shaven and wearing
brown glasses. When found, he was wearing a blue/green windcheater
with a white pullover underneath. He also wore a tweed hat and
carried a walking stick. He does not have the use of his right arm
and can only walk very slowly with the assistance of his stick.

DON'T BE A UGG MUG
TRADING
Standards officers in Sefton are warning residents not to be a mug
when it comes to UGGs.Officers have recently been
contacted by a number of consumers across the borough who have
bought UGG boots on the internet only to find out they are fakes.
One consumer who bought a fake pair was even offered a refund of
just 10 per cent of their money back as 'compensation'
by the fraudsters.Sefton Council Trading Standards are warning
residents not to be fooled by cheap prices on the internet when
buying UGG boots, especially in the run up to Christmas.
Currently, fake UGG boots are being offered for sale at a reduced
rate by web traders due to a 'seasonal sale'.
Trading Standards manager Andrew Naisbitt said:- "Sadly there
are several counterfeit UGG boots offered for sale via the Internet.
The best action consumers can take is to visit the UGG website and
contact them directly and use their site to identify whether or not
the trader is a genuine distributor. Genuine Ugg boots retail from
more than £100 and those that seem like a bargain, more often than
not, will only be fakes. Authenticity cards, packaging, care
booklets and dust bags are all copied by the counterfeiters so
please don't presume that just because the boots come with all the
UGG extras they are authentic. Please don't get stung by a scam like
this in the run up to Christmas."
