'Bolton Police Respond to Anti-Social Behaviour Calls as Part of Safe4Summer Campaign'
Key Highlights :
Last night, Bolton police responded to several calls as part of an anti-social behaviour clampdown as part of the Safe4Summer campaign. Officers visited Smithills after reports that a group of youths were being abusive towards residents, but upon attending, nobody was found and there were no other issues in the area.
The Bolton North Neighbourhood Team then headed over to Breightmet to assist with a vulnerable man and later responded to reports a taxi driver’s car had been damaged by some youths. Although the youths were not found, CCTV enquiries are being conducted to try and identify those responsible.
The officers then went to Lostock following a call from a care home that someone had been banging on their door and windows. No one was located within the grounds and staff were reassured. Finally, they finished off the evening with an alarm activation in Astley Bridge, which thankfully appeared to be a false alarm and the shop was all in order.
The Safe4Summer campaign is a joint initiative between Greater Manchester Police and Bolton Council to tackle anti-social behaviour in the area. The campaign focuses on engaging with young people to educate them on the consequences of their actions and to encourage them to make positive choices.
The campaign has been running since the beginning of June and will continue over the weekend. It is hoped that with the help of the police, the campaign will help to reduce anti-social behaviour and create a safer environment for all in Bolton.
