Wigan police continue crackdown on anti-social behaviour: Four arrested for vehicle crimes

On Wednesday May 10 Abram’s Neighbourhood Policing Team struck in Platt Bridge, detaining two men in their early 20s and a woman in her 30s on suspicion of stealing motor vehicle while a teenaged boy was arrested on suspicion of vehicle interference.

Sgt Doug Chadwick, from the team, said: “Police officers and PCSOs regularly patrol hotspot areas to ensure that anti-social behaviour is not tolerated.

“We will use all of ours and our partners’ resources and powers to ensure we make Wigan a safer place in which to live and work.

"The people in our communities tell us that anti-social behaviour is important to them because it impacts upon their ability to live their lives.

"The quality of life of ordinary law-abiding residents is important to us and we hope that these arrests send a clear message that we will listen - and that we will act."

Greater Manchester Police says that any information about criminality in a particular area will be acted upon, the force saying it is committed to ensuring the public feel safe in their communities.
