A man has been arrested over the theft of 100 iPads "bought as gifts to give to sick children and their families" from a hospital, police have said.

Merseyside Police said officers had discovered a man had later sold 40 tablets to a sale and exchange store.
A 54-year-old man, from Halewood, has been arrested on suspicion of burglary.
