Armed robbery
in Melling
MERSEYSIDE Police are currently
appealing for information following an armed robbery, in Melling, on Wednesday,
22 June 2016. At around 5.15pm, a call was made to Police stating that 2 men had
entered Melling Hair Studio on Waddicar Lane, in possession of 2 bladed weapons.
The men are believed to have stolen money from the till before leaving the shop
and making off in a white car, possibly a Vauxhall Zafira. The men are described
as white, in their early 20s, with scarves covering their faces, hoods up and
wearing dark clothes. Detective Sergeant John Fitzgerald from Sefton CID said:-
"This was a shocking incident carried out during broad daylight. Although it
was extremely distressing for staff, thankfully nobody was injured, and
extensive enquiries are underway to identify the offenders. Given the time of
day, we are hopeful that passing members of the public may have seen 2 men
acting suspiciously around 5.15pm on Waddicar Lane, or may have noticed a large
white car speeding away from the area. Any details, however small, may be vital
to our investigation." Anyone with information on this incident is asked to
call Sefton CID on:- 0151 777 3835, call:- 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously
