Bolton Police - GMP

Officers from Bolton South Neighbourhood Team and the Neighbourhood Crime Team conducted plain clothes patrols in Bolton town centre this evening.

A 20-year-old male has been arrested on suspicion of attempted burglary and possession with intent to supply Class A drugs. He remains in custody for questioning.

Yesterday, PC Heyes and PC Cope attended a “Family Fun Day” organised by Lads and Girls Club.

It was a fun day to bring the community of Bolton together and show our support to the younger community.

BLGC were able to arrange activities such as biscuit decorating, table tennis and much more, allowing for a day of fun for families to enjoy together.

It would be a pleasure to see more of the community at the next event!

| We know it can be worrying to hear about people being injured or killed by knives, but carrying a knife yourself doesn’t make you any safer. It can actually put you more at risk.

If someone you know is carrying a knife, you can report it to the police, speak to a trusted family member or teacher, or report it anonymously to Crimestoppers or Fearless.

In an emergency always dial 999.

| Officers from the North Neighbourhood Team have conducted a traffic operation today.

Officers spent the day on Road, Blackburn Road in and Blackburn Road in .

🚘 76 vehicles stopped and checked
❌ 3 vehicles seized for having no insurance
📄 Numerous tickets issued for no insurance, no licence, no MOT, no seatbelt and speeding

- Today PC Hussain has been patrolling Deane Road, including issuing Traffic Offence Reports to those parked in the Bus Lane.

The bus lanes are regularly monitored and tickets will continue to be given to those parking in them, causing a safety risk for drivers.

| By carrying a knife, not only do you put yourself at risk of a serious or fatal injury, you could face a fine and prison – even if you don’t use it.

Knives can be safely and anonymously deposited in amnesty bins across Greater Manchester.

You may have unwanted knives at home and are worried about safely disposing of them. This is an excellent way to ensure they are responsibly and securely disposed of. This is also an opportunity to anonymously hand over knives without fear of prosecution. If you wish to hand over a knife, please ensure the blade is safely wrapped in cardboard, secured in place with tape, and placed into an opaque bag whilst in on route to the amnesty bin. No details will be taken, no questions asked - simply walk over, drop off, and walk away knife free.
