POLICE OFFICERS are warning members of the public to watch out for a potentially dangerous chemical that was stolen from a van in Merseyside.
The van and its load were stolen at around 4.30pm on 28 January from Hale Road in Speke.
The vehicle has since been recovered but its contents are still missing and they could be dangerous if touched.
The missing cargo includes a 13kg cylinder of R134A hydrofluorocarbon which contains 5-7kg of the active fluid, which is used as a coolant for vehicle air conditioning. It can cause severe burns if it comes into contact with the skin.
The cylinder is approximately 40rrun tall and 300rnm in diameter. It is turquoise blue and clearly marked with the words `HFC refrigerant' and a Hazchem sign.
Also missing is a charger unit, which is described as a platform, 450x230mm. It stands on four small castors.
On one side of the platform is a vacuum pump; the other side is a plastic-covered stainless steel column with a valve containing a further 2kg of the same liquid for connection with a vehicle's aircon systems.
