It comes after Sunday's terror attack at Liverpool Women's Hospital which saw a taxi explode in the hospital car park shortly before 11am.
Rutland Avenue, which is located close to Sefton Park in the L17 area, remains the main focus of the counter terrorism investigation.
In an update on Thursday, Counter Terror Police North West said their work at Liverpool Women's Hospital will continue over the next few days, with the scene there not likely to be released before Sunday.
