Burglar knocked down door and forced way into safe

A burglar forced their way into a city centre building and broke into the safe.

Police say they were called to reports of a burglary at around 7.10am today, on Monday, March 7.

When at the scene, officers found the office had been rummaged through and the safe had been broken into.

It is unclear if the burglar was able to make off with any money from the safe.

The Exchange Court building houses Royal Bank of Scotland on the ground floor and the upper floors are available to let out as office space.

It is believed the burglary took place in one of the let out spaces and not the bank.

Merseyside police has launched an investigation and are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.

A spokesperson for the force said: "At around 7.10am today (Monday 7 March) officers were called to a report of a burglary in Liverpool.

"It was reported that an offender forced entry into a premises on Dale Street by damaging the front door and then forcing open a safe.

"An untidy search was also made of the premises.

"An investigation is now underway along with forensic and CCTV enquiries.

"If you have any information on this incident, DM @MerPolCC on Twitter quoting incident reference 132 of 07/03/2022. Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
