Stolen vehicles and £10,000 seized after warrant in Sutton

Cash of approximately £10,000 and several stolen vehicles have been seized after a warrant was executed at an industrial estate in St Helens yesterday, Wednesday 27 September.
 
Police executed a warrant at a business premises on Station Road after a 41-year-old man from Cottenham was arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle and possession of criminal property. The man was taken to a police station in Merseyside and remains in custody.
 
During the search approximately £10,000 was located inside a vehicle. A stolen Ford van engine and several other vehicles have been seized at the premises to be examined by our specially trained stolen vehicle squad.
