Arrest made and drugs seized during Bolton triple warrant strike

Neighbourhood officers from Bolton’s Astley Bridge team executed a trio of warrants this afternoon (Tuesday 12 March 2024), as the team marked a year since GMP’s neighbourhood review.

Last year, GMP launched a new neighbourhood policing model to make communities safer, following a vigorous review and public consultation.

This saw an additional 264 warranted police officers posted to neighbourhood teams across Greater Manchester – and Bolton’s team are conducting a week of action one year on from the uplift.

Today’s action saw two warrants at addresses on Hillfield Walk, with a further warrant on Dalymount Close.

During the course of the searches, one woman, aged in her 20s, was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A and Class B drugs. She remains in custody for questioning.

A quantity of cocaine and cannabis was recovered during the operation.

In addition to today’s work, which saw the arrest and drug recoveries, Bolton officers are conducting work across the borough to clamp down on criminality, share crime prevention advice, and continue to provide a visible presence for residents of the town.

The work includes monitoring for offences on the town’s roads, which will target dangerous and speeding drivers – this further falls under Operation Classify, a district-led initiative tackling traffic offences.

Officers will also be out visiting a local college, providing an input to criminology students in relation to the arrest and custody process. Officers will also be there to speak with students about the police force in general and answer any queries they may have regarding future career paths.

Inspector Lisa Clarke, from Greater Manchester Police’s Bolton district, said: “We regularly conduct days of action and operation specific to residents’ concerns, and this week we are tackling all manner of criminality a year on from the force’s neighbourhood review.

“Our neighbourhood officers are dedicated to ensuring that the people of Bolton are kept safe and those who seek to disrupt their lives are visited, arrested, and prosecuted where appropriate.

“Today’s work forms part of our commitment to disrupting drugs supply across the town – ensuring dangerous substances are kept off the streets and out of the hands of vulnerable people.

“We are always building our intelligence picture in relation to drugs supply and all other forms of criminality. If you have any information that you wish to share, please do so. Even if you think it is a minor thing, it all aids in the fight against crime.

“You can report information to a police officer directly, by calling 101, or by visiting gmp.police.uk, You can also report information anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
