More vehicles were seized from a site suspected of being one of the biggest 'chop shop' operations found on Merseyside.
An extensive investigation was launched after police discovered a significant number of suspected stolen vehicles and car parts at an Aintree industrial unit in January.
Police re-attended the premises in Sugar Street yesterday and identified more vehicles suspected of being stolen.
A van containing vehicle parts was seized, alongside a car which was found in a car park on site and suspected of being stolen and two off-road bikes.
Crime scene investigators are now gathering forensic evidence.
Officers were first led to the site after receiving a report on New Year's Day that a Mercedes car had been stolen from a driveway on Birkdale's exclusive Waterloo Road overnight.
The luxury car was fitted with a tracking device and was and was traced to the Aintree industrial unit.

On arrival at the Sugar Street premises on January 2, patrols found the car alongside a number of other vehicles and vehicle parts suspected to have been stolen.
Even before yesterday's raid, it was understood dozens of vehicles were being assessed - creating the potential for the operation to be one of the biggest busts of this nature seen on Merseyside.
Detective Sergeant Alan Nuttall said: "Our officers have done a great deal of meticulous forensic work since the cars were discovered in January, and they continue to work tirelessly to gather intelligence, identify offenders and reunite any stolen cars with their owners.

"Yesterday’s activity is the result of that work, and officers will now carry out more forensic examinations and, we hope, get stolen cars back in the hands of their rightful owners.
"We will continue to work with all partners to tackle car theft, and regularly assess hotspot areas across the force, directing our resources accordingly."
