On Sunday 30 April, officers were called to several reports of vehicles being found damaged in the Westhoughton area of Bolton.
Whilst officers investigate these incidents, members of the public will see an increase of police officers conducting high visibility foot patrols in the area.
Chief Inspector Justine Topping of GMP’s Bolton district, said: "We want our communities to feel safe in the areas where they live, work and socialise and I want to reassure those affected that local officers are following up a number of lines of enquiry.
"We continue to work alongside partners to combat any anti-social behaviour and crime and would encourage communities to contact us with any information or concerns.
“We would strongly urge members of the local community who live close by or who know anything about this incident to report it to GMP.”
If you have any information, doorbell, or dash cam footage regarding this incident you can report this to GMP by calling 101 quoting log 900 of 30/4/2023 or online via the LiveChat function on our website: www.gmp.police.uk
