Three Men Arrested in Southport Burglary and Robbery Spree
Late-Night Burglary Sparks Swift Arrest
Southport was rocked by a flurry of crime as three men were arrested following a series of burglaries and robberies. The drama kicked off just before midnight on Thursday, February 13, when police rushed to a reported residential burglary on Oxford Road. Officers caught the suspects red-handed, making immediate arrests on the scene.
Youth Targeted in Brazen Tesco Robbery
Before the burglary, the same trio allegedly mugged a 15-year-old boy outside a Tesco on Town Lane, stealing his bicycle in a shocking daylight robbery. The swift police response connected the dots, leading to charges against the men for both offences.
Charged and Remanded: The Accused
- Mark Allen, 23, no fixed address
- Callum McCaughery, 24, from Litherland
- Callum Rimmer, 23, from Birkdale
All three appeared at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court on Saturday, February 15, denied bail, and were remanded in custody pending trial. They face serious charges of burglary and robbery, with a Liverpool Crown Court hearing set for Monday, March 17.
