Cars damaged in Beechwood
Local police officers were in attendance on the Beechwood Estate in the company of members of Wirral Council to discuss future developments which aim to improve the local area by providing a safe neighbourhood for local residents.
Personal vehicles belonging to these council staff members were damaged by unknown persons. No Police vehicles were damaged at this time, but the vehicles of innocent members of the public who are aiming to help and support local communities were.
A police spokesperson said, “These actions will now have a wider impact and a negative effect on the process of these future developments as it will not only delay those suggestions, but the council may now have to possibly review funding.”
If you have any details and wish to provide any information regarding the damage, or if you have any concerns about other matters on the estate then do not hesitate to contact Merseyside Police on 101. Alternatively, you can contact Crimestoppers anonymously via: https://orlo.uk/UaR3d
