Arrest over Dale Street business break-in

A man has been arrested in connection with the burglary of a Liverpool city centre business last month.

The 45-year-old is being questioned about the break-in on March 25 at the Dead Crafty Beer Company on Dale Street as part of a recent police crackdown.

Merseyside Police have been investigating a number of recent burglaries on businesses in and around the city centre and have increased patrols in the area to support the local economy.

Area Commander Supt Mark Wiggins said: “I can confirm an arrest in relation to the burglary at the Dead Crafty Beer Company.

“And I want to re-assure businesses that we will continue to thoroughly investigate these crimes with a view to putting the perpetrators before the courts.

“Business burglaries are not victimless crimes, many of these businesses are local people who just want to earn a living.

“It is in everyone’s interest to solve and prevent these crimes against businesses that provide a vital service to our communities.

“We will continue to work with our local businesses to deter and prevent this type of crime and lock up those responsible.”

Anybody with information is urged to contact Merseyside Police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
