A MAN says he can't sleep and is losing money after being arrested and then released on suspicion of robbery.

At around 9.10am on Monday, Merseyside Police first received a report of two men approaching the security guard outside the Tesco Superstore on Overton Street in Wavertree.

A cash box was then stolen. The force said the men grabbed the box before getting into a silver car, driven by a third man, which was later found abandoned nearby.

Initially, police said a 40-year-old man from Liverpool had been arrested on suspicion of robbery.

In an update, the force confirmed that this man had been released with no further action. They added that the force is still appealing for anyone with information to come forward.

The arrested man in question and his family have come forward to the ECHO to complain about his arrest.

At the time of the robbery, he says he was in a different Tesco, on Park Road in Dingle.
