Suspicious man sparks police search at Shell

POLICE conducted a search of the Stanlow Shell Oil refinery in Ellesmere Port after receiving reports of a man acting suspiciously.

A member of the public contacted the police at around 12.20pm on Friday with information that a man had been seen appearing to enter the refinery on Oil Sites Road.

Working with site security police conducted a thorough search of the area as a precautionary measure.

The A5117 bordering the site was closed during the incident between junction 10 of the M53 and junction 14 of the M56.

The search concluded at 6.20pm with nothing untoward found.

A police spokesman said: "Police would like to thank local residents and motorists for their forebearance during the incident."
