A large bin bag filled with cannabis has been seized from a car reported stolen two months ago. Greater Manchester Police spotted the car - a white Ford EcoSport - in Bolton.
In a photo shared by GMP Traffic this morning (August 5), the car can be seen parked up at the bottom of Cannon Street North, at the junction with Deane Road. The car was reported stolen to police back in June.
GMP says the car was spotted on false number plates by officers from the force's Roads Policing Unit. Police searched the Ford and uncovered a huge bag filled with the class B drug in the back of the car.
