Three Arrested After Burglary at Smyths Toys in Fazakerley

Three men have been arrested following a high-profile burglary at the Smyths Toys superstore located off the East Lancashire Road in Fazakerley, Liverpool.

The incident began in the early hours of December 29, 2025, when police were alerted to a break-in at the popular toy retailer. Officers arriving at the scene discovered signs of forced entry, prompting them to establish a secure police cordon around the store's entrance. The visual presence of police tape and patrol cars drew significant attention from commuters passing along the busy East Lancashire Road during the morning rush hour.

Following a rapid investigation by Merseyside Police, officers tracked down and arrested three male suspects in connection with the break-in. During the arrests, police successfully recovered a quantity of stolen cash as well as high-value electronics from the store's inventory, preventing further financial losses for the business.

A spokesperson for Merseyside Police confirmed that the suspects were taken to a local police station for questioning. The store was closed temporarily to allow forensic investigators to examine the scene, but it has since reopened to customers. Residents and local business owners have commended the police for their quick action in recovering the stolen goods and securing the arrests.
