Two thieves stole an Amazon delivery van full of parcels a week before Christmas then took video footage of themselves boasting: "Man's just took the whole Amazon van, you know".Key evidence produced as part of investigations into a brutal beating thought to have played a part in events which led to the murder of innocent Elle Edwards helped lead cops to the pair.

Jake Duffy, of Hornby Road, Walton, and William Duggan, of Broadfield Avenue, Beechwood, and an unknown male were spotted on Pennystone Close in Moreton on December 16 2022, frantically started throwing parcels out of the back of the Amazon van.

The pair had stolen the parked van, with £3,793.50 worth of items, from Franklin Road that day, and were packing its contents into a grey Ford Kuga, which had also been stolen from a house in Liverpool on December 6, reports the Echo.The vehicle was found torched and stripped of its number plates on Boundary Road, Birkenhead, on December 19 2022.

A police probe of the GPS on the vehicle revealed that the car had been driving around the Liverpool and Wirral areas between December 6 and December 19.
