Dear Residents,
We are currently investigating reports of vehicle interference offences in the Bradshaw Brow and Bromley Cross areas of Bolton.
CCTV footage shows an offender trying vehicle door handles in these locations. The offences are believed to have occurred overnight between the late evening of 11 November 2026 and the early hours of 12 November 2026.
We urge all residents to remain alert and vigilant, and to report any suspicious activity immediately via 101 or, if a crime is in progress or there is an immediate threat, via 999.
Please ensure that your vehicles, homes and any outbuildings are securely locked before going to bed.
As part of your nightly routine, consider making a habit of pressing the lock button on your key fob and checking that your vehicle is secure and the house is fully locked up before retiring to bed for the night.
It is also worth periodically checking that all locking mechanisms on your vehicle are working correctly and that all doors, including the boot, are locking properly when the vehicle is secured. Lock motors and mechanisms can fail without obvious warning.
Please ensure that all offences and suspicious activity are reported to GMP by calling 101 or online via gmp.police.uk, even if you do not believe there is any evidence available. Every report is reviewed by officers and crime scene examiners for potential lines of enquiry.
Accurate reporting also helps us identify patterns, target our activity effectively and deploy resources where they are needed most.
Further crime prevention advice relating to vehicle security can be found on the GMP website at: https://www.gmp.police.uk/cp/crime-prevention/keeping-vehicles-safe/
Please remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to GMP immediately. If a crime is taking place at the time, call 999.
