Wigan borough police successful in cracking down on anti-social behaviour

The plain clothes operation was carried out by the Leigh’s neighbourhood officers that patrolled what have been reported to be ASB hotspots.

This saw three stop-searches carried out of which two were positive for drug possession along with an arrest for possession of drugs and drink-driving.

Officers also disrupted a drug deal which led to a police pursuit and, with the assistance of the National Police Air Service, a man was arrested in Whitefield on suspicion of drug and driving offences.
