88 year old robbed at home
in Litherland MERSEYSIDE
Police Detectives are appealing for information after a robber stole money from
the home of an 88 year old woman, in Litherland. The man entered the house, on
Moss Lane, at about 9.50pm on Monday 4 July and pushed the pensioner to the
floor while demanding cash. After a brief search of the property he took two £5
notes and fled the scene in the direction of Litherland Moss Primary School.
Witnesses described the male as white, aged 35 40 years, unshaven and wearing a
blue beanie type hat, blue waterproof jacket and blue trousers. CCTV and
forensic opportunities have been undertaken together with house to house
enquiries in the local area and an investigation is underway. The pensioner was
taken to Hospital with suspected broken ribs and was kept in overnight.
Detective Inspector Robbie Moss said:- "Offenders like this deliberately
target the most vulnerable in our community in their own homes, a place where
they have a right to feel safe and secure. But I want to reassure the public
that Merseyside Police takes the protection of the most vulnerable members of
our communities very seriously and we will do everything we can to find the
person responsible for this. A neighbour initially saw the man we want to speak
to on Moss Lane and when they went to check on the pensioner the same male
answered the door to the house before fleeing the scene. I would appeal to
anyone who may have been in the area of Moss Lane and saw a male fitting the
description or saw anyone acting suspiciously in the area last night to get in
touch. I would also appeal to people to keep an eye on any elderly and
vulnerable neighbours and family members. If you notice anyone suspicious in the
area, always call the Police or contact your local neighbourhood policing team
for more advice.”
Anyone with information is asked to Merseyside Police on 0151 777 3835 or the
confidential Crimestoppers line on:- 0800 555 111. |

Parent Power Strikes Again
To Support Young People And Their Dream
STAFF and gymnasts are
celebrating after the announcement that the future of the Southport and Ainsdale
Gymnastics Club has been secured. A charity set up by the Club’s Parents Support
Group will take over as new owners, from Southport YMCA, in September 2016.
The Gymnastics Club was formed in 1973 by parents inspired by the 1972 Munich
Olympic Games. The club has grown in strength and numbers over the subsequent
years and is now the biggest single sport provider in the surrounding three
boroughs. It provides weekly cheerleading and artistic gymnastics sessions for
approximately 1,300 young people and is the home training club for two current
British team members in Daniel Purvis, Olympic, Commonwealth, European and World
Medalist and Frank Baines, Commonwealth, British Senior and European Junior
Medalist.
Matt Dodd, chairman of the charity, said:- “After an initial campaign
aimed at securing the future of the club and a year of behind-the-scenes
negotiations with Southport YMCA, we are delighted to finally be taking over the
running of the club. We entered into this process with 2 key objectives in
mind. Our first goal was to preserve the gym club facilities for the use of
existing and all future members. Secondly, we wanted to safeguard the jobs of
gymnastics coaches and staff who are the lifeblood of the club. Without them the
club would not function and they have a vital role to play in its future.
The club has a proud history and our role now is to build on this as we move
into the next phase of the club’s development. These developments will require
fundraising and this will be one of our top priorities from September onwards
and we will look to work with the community to achieve that. The club has an
exciting future and we look forward to working with our coaches, parents and
gymnasts to ensure that the gymnastics and Cheerleading provision at Segars Lane
continues to be delivered to the highest standard. To support our future
developments for the club we will be forging strong links with British
Gymnastics, the national governing body for the sport. This will give gymnasts
at all levels the opportunity to compete in competitions and ensure that high
quality gymnastics provision continues to thrive at the heart of the community.
We thank the Southport YMCA staff for their support in securing the transition
of the club to the Southport and Ainsdale Gymnastics Club charity. None of this would have been possible without the legal advice we received
and a special mention should also go to Vaqas Farooq, Managing Partner at
Shoosmiths Manchester, and his team including James Skivington and James Brodie,
who provided advice throughout the negotiations on a pro bono basis.”
The Southport and Ainsdale Gymnastics Club is a Charitable Incorporated
Organisation (CIO), a new legal format introduced to allow charities to trade as
a legal body. |
