Below is a summary of activity we've undertaken as part of the Neighbourhood Policing Week of Action across Bolton:
A woman has been arrested following a warrant in Halliwell.
Officers from Bolton's neighbourhood teams executed a warrant at a property in Halliwell. This was in response to complaints from the community about drug supply in the area.
A 38-year-old woman was subsequently arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of drugs. She remains in police custody for questioning.
Op Hurricane is a coordinated crackdown on the anti-social use of off-road bikes, e-bikes and quad bikes across the region.
The misuse of these vehicles continues to cause significant disruption within communities, affecting quality of life and posing serious risks to the public.
Officers from our Roads Policing Unit (RPU), Drone and Motorcycle Unit and the National Police Air Service (NPAS) will join neighbourhood teams in turning out to specific hotspot areas to deter, detect and disrupt offences from taking place.
This operation supports the Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee to crackdown on anti-social behaviour.
For over 20 years, PCSO Mark Flannery has been at the heart of the Bolton community – building trust, supporting young people, and making a real difference every single day.
Mark’s work with Bolton Wanderers in the Community and his leadership in creating a knife crime education programme shows his commitment to prevention and safeguarding.
Known as the “go‑to” officer for youth engagement, Mark has helped guide countless young people away from harm and towards brighter futures.
Congratulations, Mark – a well‑deserved award and a true credit to Bolton.
