DETECTIVES investigating an incident of racial abuse at a Wirral shop have issued CCTV images of a man who they believe could help enquiries.

Just before 8.55am on October 18, a man walked into the shop on Borough Road and shouted racial abuse at a member of staff before leaving.

Merseyside Police say the same man came back just before 2.35pm shouting racist slurs before exposing himself and leaving the shop again.

CCTV images show a man who could hold 'vital' information that could assist enquiries into these incidents.

Constable Bev Draper said: "Nobody should be subject to such hateful abuse as they go about their business, trying to earn a living.

"The threatening and aggressive behaviour shown by the offender has no place in Merseyside, and we are determined to bring the offender to justice.
