Police have made an arrest in connection with a Dale Street business burglary as the force looks to crackdown on a spate of break-ins currently blighting the city centre. <\/p>\n
Officers have arrested a 45-year-old man following a break-in at the Dead Crafty Beer Company on March 25. <\/p>\n
The suspect, who lives in the city centre, is currently being quizzed by officers over the incident. <\/p>\n
Last week the ECHO spoke with business owners who complained of an epidemic of break-ins in the Dale Street area, with a similar crime spree reported in Bold Street. <\/p>\n
At the time we spoke to Dead Crafty boss Gareth Morgan, who said he had his shop has been regularly targetted. <\/p>\n
Following the ECHOs reports, police have stepped up patrols in the city centre - with four extra officers now operating in Bold Street, where numerous businesses have been raided. <\/p>\n
A meeting will be held next week with Dale Street businesses to see what can be done there. <\/p>\n
Merseyside Police 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. <\/p>\n
Business burglaries are not victimless crimes, many of these businesses are local people who just want to earn a living. <\/p>\n
It is in everyones interest to solve and prevent these crimes against businesses that provide a vital service to our communities. <\/p>\n
We will continue to work with our local businesses to deter and prevent this type of crime and lock up those responsible. <\/p>\n
Anybody with information is urged to contact Merseyside Police on 101 or the confidential Crimestoppers number 0800 555 111 <\/p>\n
