Appeal for information following report of suspicious circumstances - St Helens

We are appealing for information following a report of suspicious circumstances in St Helens on Wednesday, 25 March.

At around 6.55pm, it was reported that a white transit van with three men in the front seats had been seen driving in a dangerous manner along Cooper Street, Chapel Street and Oxford Street.

It was also reported that a possible fourth person had been heard in the back of the van and officers are working to establish the full circumstances and ensure the safety of those involved.
