More than 50 arrests have been made during a blitz on crime in a Greater Manchester town. Greater Manchester Police made 52 arrests after executing 18 warrants across Bolton yesterday (May 16).
It was part of Operation Avro, which sees extra resources and specialist officers hit the streets of a different borough each month. Arrests made varied from being on suspicion of assault, to theft and possession of a bladed article.
They also included burglary, theft of a motor vehicle and cannabis cultivation. GMP says it uncovered a large, highly sophisticated cannabis farm after acting on intelligence from the public through Crimestoppers.
