			CCTV APPEAL - ASSAULT - NAGS HEAD 
			PUB CARPARK, GREEN LANE, THORNTON 
			 MERSEYSIDE Police 
			Detectives have released CCTV stills of 2 people they want to speak 
			to after a man was assaulted in a pub car park on Sunday night. 
			  
			  
			The 24 year old suffered a puncture wound to the 
			buttocks after being confronted by a man in the car park of the Nags 
			Head in Green Lane, Thornton, at around 7pm. 
			 
			He was taken to hospital for treatment and later discharged after 
			undergoing surgery on Monday morning. 
			 
			Detectives are trying to establish why the attack happened and who 
			was responsible. 
			 
			The victim had gone to the pub for something to eat with 3 friends. 
			 
			As they drove into the car park they passed a white Audi convertible 
			driven by a woman. As the victim got out of his friend's car, the 
			offender approached him and stabbed him once in the buttocks. The 
			offender is believed to have then got into the Audi and been driven 
			away. 
			 
			Police officers spoke to a number of people in the pub on Sunday 
			night and detectives spent Monday going through CCTV taken from 
			inside the pub and the surrounding area. 
			 
			They are keen to hear from anyone who witnessed the incident or has 
			any information about it. In particular they want to speak to the 
			man and the woman in the CCTV stills who are believed to have left 
			the pub at around the time the incident occurred. 
			 
			Detective Inspector Mark Smith, said:- "This was a rare and 
			unusual incident and appears to be have completely unprovoked. The 
			victim was arriving at the pub with friends and the offender has 
			confronted him in the car park and assaulted him with some kind of 
			weapon. The attack has left this young man in a lot of pain and it 
			will have been a really distressing thing to happen to him. We are 
			keen to hear from anyone willing to tell us what they saw but in 
			particular I want to trace the man and woman in this CCTV. They were 
			in the pub that evening and we believe they left at around the time 
			the incident occurred and may hold important information that could 
			help with this investigation." 
			 
			Anyone who recognises them is asked to call Detective Constable 
			Jamie Dean at Marsh Lane CID on:- 0151 777 3011 or share information 
			anonymously via Crimestoppers on:- 0800 555 111.

			MERSEYSIDE POLICE ISSUED WARNING 
			TO STUDENTS AND CLUBBERS AFTER 3 PEOPLE COLLAPSE 
			MERSEYSIDE Police have issued a warning to 
			young people and students after 3 people were taken to hospital on 
			Sunday, 16 February 2014, in a critical condition after taking a 
			substance believed to be known as GEEBS. 
			 
			Officers were called to student accommodation at Bordens Court, 
			Liverpool City Centre, at about 7.30am following reports of a 
			concern for safety for 3 people who had collapsed in a communal area 
			of the building. 
			 
			On arrival officers found 3 people, 2 men aged 20 years from 
			Kensington and 22 years from Huyton, and a female aged 16 years from 
			Clubmoor, who were being tended to by paramedics. All 3 were taken 
			to the Royal Liverpool University Hospital where they were placed in 
			intensive care. The conditions of all 3 have improved significantly 
			during the day and the all are now recovering have now been 
			discharged from hospital. 
			 
			Although the investigation is in its early stages officers believe 
			that the 2 men and the teenager had been to a party in Lawrence 
			Road, Wavertree, and a number of clubs in the City centre prior to 
			returning to the accommodation at Borden Court where they collapsed. 
			 
			On the day Detective Superintendent Chris Green, said:- "As a 
			result of our investigations we believe that the three people who 
			collapsed in Borden Court this morning had taken a product called 
			GEEBS, which is actually a chemical used to clean alloy wheels. We 
			have consulted with the Royal Liverpool University Hospital and 
			established that if taken this substance can have side effects, but 
			at the end of the day this substance is a chemical used to clean car 
			wheels and even in small doses can kill. We believe that the three 
			people who are currently in hospital had been to a number of clubs 
			in the City and a party in Lawrence Road, Wavertree before they 
			returned to Borden Court. We have spoken to a number of people who 
			were at the party at Lawrence Road but we know that there were other 
			people who were at the party and we would like them to come forward 
			for two reasons. The first to check that they are safe and well and 
			secondly to see if they have any information which could help us 
			with our inquiriesn. We will be working with universities in the 
			City in the coming days to warn students about the dangers that 
			drugs and chemicals can have when taken, particularly if mixed with 
			alcohol, or other substances. We understand that the three people 
			involved may have taken other substances and as a precaution checks 
			are underway to establish what those drugs were and to ensure that 
			they have not taken drugs that are part of a bad batch." 
			 
			Since the incident a 19 year old man from the Worsley area has been 
			arrested on suspicion of supplying a Class C drug, and later 
			released on Police Bail pending further inquiries.  Anyone who 
			was at the party in Lawrence Road, or who has any information which 
			could help the Police with their inquiries can contact detectives at 
			St Anne Street Police station on:- 0151 777 4064, or Crimestoppers 
			on:- 0800 555 111. 
			 
			PLEASE NOTE THAT IT IS NOT ILLEGAL TO BUY THIS SUBSTANCE FOR THE USE 
			IT IS DESIGNED FOR (IE CLEANING CAR WHEELS), BUT IT IS ILLEGAL TO 
			SUPPLY/INGEST THE SUBSTANCE THEREFORE IT IS NOT A LEGAL HIGH AND IS 
			CLASSED AS A CLASS C DRUG IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES!   |
