TWO teenagers have been arrested in connection with a little girl being hit by a moped.

Police issued an appeal for information last week following the incident which happened near Townfield Lane, Bebington on July 11.

Officers have now arrested two 16-year-old boys, from Rock Ferry, on suspicion of aggravated taking of a motor vehicle and have since been bailed pending further enquiries.

Anyone with information can contact Merseyside Police on 0151 777 5739 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
