THREE men have been arrested on suspicion of fraudulently selling fish.

The arrests were made on Friday, July 13, after officers stopped a suspicious ford transit van on Cunningham Drive in Runcorn.

The three occupants of the van were arrested at the scene on suspicion of fraud by false representation.

All of the men, age 26, 29 and 41 from the Durham area, have since been released under investigation pending further enquires.

Detective Sergeant Robert McLoughlin said: "While these arrests have now been made, I would like to remind residents to remain vigilant and continue to report any suspicious activity.

"I'd also urge residents to keep an eye out for any elderly or vulnerable family members or neighbours to ensure they don't fall victim to any fraudulent doorstep salesmen."
