THREE men have been arrested in connection with an incident which saw Merseyside Police conduct an investigation in Bradford today (Thursday). 

A police cordon was put in place this morning outside a car park off Mayo Avenue, Bradford.

Two police cars were at the scene for much of the day and could be seen at a location near a tea room and petrol station off Staithgate roundabout. 

A spokesperson for Merseyside Police said: "Three men have been arrested in connection with a reported robbery in Knotty Ash (in Liverpool) yesterday evening, Wednesday, April 19.

"At around 6.30pm it was reported that a man got out of a black Ford Focus and approached the driver of a vehicle on Woolage Close and then drove off. The stolen vehicle was recovered by police a short time later in Longreach Road, Dovecot.

"No injuries were reported from the victim, but he was left very shaken by the incident.
