A stretch of gardens in Southport Town Centre remain closed off and closely guarded by police this morning.

St George Square on Lord Street has been cordoned off by officers from Merseyside Police following a serious incident overnight.

Detectives won’t let anyone near and are focussing their attention on the area near the garden’s main fountain.

OTS News has approached Merseyside Police for comment on the incident and an update from officers is expected shortly.

It’s expected the cordon will remain in place for the remainder of the day.
