Merseyside police had previously arrested the suspects after carrying out warrants in the early hours of February 8.

Today they have confirmed all three charged will appear at Wirral magistrates court this morning.

All three have been charged with burglary dwelling, attempt burglary dwelling, burglary other than a dwelling, attempt burglary other than a dwelling and theft of a pedal cycle.

A third 16 year-old male arrested has been released under investigation pending further enquiries.

Detective Inspector Tony O’Brien who heads the Burglary Team (Operation Castle), said: "We launched a dedicated operation, Operation Castle, in 2018 to reinforce our commitment to tackling burglaries in the region which has led to year-on-year reductions in burglaries across Merseyside, sparing many residents the pain of being subjected to a burglary.

"As part of our efforts to bring offenders to justice and prevent further burglaries, offenders have been jailed for more than 500 years in total, and our pursuit of those who violate the privacy of people’s homes in this callous way will continue.

"Key to us putting offenders behind bars is information from our communities so, please, come forward and tell us what you know and we can take action."
