A POLICE cordon has been put in place on a street in St Helens, with officers sealing off an alleyway.

Officers were seen standing at either end of the cordon on Kirkland Street and Burnell Close, with the alleyway between the two streets closed off.

Clothing could also be seen lying on the ground inside the cordoned-off area.

The reason for the police presence is not yet known.

The Star has contacted Merseyside Police for further information.
