Statement on video footage in Concert Square, Liverpool

Liverpool Community Policing Superintendent Diane Pownall said: “We are investigating video footage circulating on social media which shows two people having sex in a public place in Liverpool City Centre. 

“We believe the footage was taken in Concert Square and we are conducting extensive enquiries, including working with our partners, to establish exactly when the incident took place.

“We would urge people to refrain from sharing the video on social media and instead report anything they know about the video, or those involved, to us so that we can investigate.  

“Merseyside Police will not tolerate illegal acts of public indecency on our streets and, rest assured, we are working to find those responsible and bring them to justice.

“All year round we work tirelessly with local businesses, Liverpool City Council and other partners to make sure that our City Centre is a safe place for people to come and visit and experience our nightlife. 

“We are clear that we won’t let such unacceptable behaviour from a small minority of people tarnish the reputation of our city, so please, come forward with any information and we will take action.”

Anyone with any information about this incident can contact us via our social media desk via Twitter @MerPolCC or Facebook ‘Merseyside Police Contact Centre’.
