Teen evaded police but they found his house and what was inside
A teenager has been arrested after police seized suspected stolen bikes and weapons following an incident in Croxteth earlier this month.
At around 8.25pm on Tuesday June 17, Merseyside Police officers on patrol in Altcross Road were approached by a man riding an electric Surron motorbike on the pavement. He failed to stop and made off, getting away from the officers. However, yesterday, Friday June 27, enquiries led officers to an address on Callestock Road and a man was detained.
Two suspected stolen Surron bikes and a moped were seized. A number of weapons were also seized, including knives, a machete and a Samurai sword.

An 18-year-old man from Croxteth was arrested on suspicion of three counts of theft of a motor vehicle, dangerous driving, failing to stop, having no insurance, possession of offensive weapons in a private dwelling and driving without insurance.
He was taken to a police station for questioning and has been released under investigation pending further enquiries.
Chief Inspector Jordan Quinn said: 'This arrest followed extensive enquiries into the incident in Croxteth, and we will continue to investigate.
'Tackling the issue of the criminal and anti-social riding of electric bikes in Merseyside is an absolute priority and we will always take action to remove dangerous riders and their vehicles from the roads.
"You can expect to see a lot more proactive work in the coming weeks and months, as we look to target those who put our communities at risk.
'The weapons seized are also a reminder that such incidents are often connected to other suspected criminality, so it is imperative that anyone with information comes forward so we can continue this work and reduce the harm on our roads and green spaces.'
