“I would urge anyone who has information in these circumstances to contact merseyside Police on 0151 777 3165 or Crimestoppers on 0800 111 555.”

Acting Superintendent Clive Howarth, added: “There is nothing that undermines public confidence more than seeing people visibly profiting from crime.

“By using the powers given to us by the Proceeds of Crime Act at every opportunity, we are ensuring those assets are taken away.”

The Force Crime Operations Unit of Merseyside Police has a team of specialist detectives and financial investigators dedicated to finding profit gained illegally and taking them out of the hands of criminals.

The criminal enterprises team aim to dismantle organised crime groups, including those using seemingly legitimate businesses as a front for their criminality.
