Burglars Caught on CCTV After Daring Liverpool Raids
Detectives have released CCTV images of two suspects linked to two brazen burglaries in Liverpool city centre last weekend. The crimes targeted The Arch Student Accommodation and a shop on Limekiln Lane on Saturday, 23 September, and during the early hours of Tuesday, 26 September.
Student Housing Hit Twice in One Week
The trouble started around 8.40pm on Saturday when a man broke into The Arch Student Accommodation and made off with several electrical tools. Security staff caught the suspect and escorted him from the premises. But less than a week later, at 5.30am on Tuesday, the same man was spotted slipping back inside, dodging security once again.
Shop Burgled Through the Roof
Just before 2.15am that Tuesday, the second burglary shocked locals when a suspect broke into a Limekiln Lane shop by accessing the roof. The thief helped themselves to alcohol, scratch cards, and e-cigarettes before making a rooftop escape.
Police Launch Appeal for Witnesses
Operation Assure, Liverpool’s dedicated burglary team, has since scoured CCTV footage and now released images of two people believed to hold vital clues. Detective Inspector Darren Taylor slammed the “disgraceful behaviour” and vowed to bring those responsible to justice.
“We are determined to uncover the full circumstances and urge anyone who recognises these individuals or saw anything suspicious on 23rd or 26th September to come forward.”
Residents and businesses are also asked to check any CCTV or doorbell camera footage for those dates and share it with officers.
