Good Afternoon

We are currently investigating a report of Burglary that occurred on George Barton Street, between 2100hrs 16/12/2024 and 0930hrs 17/12/2024. 

Offender/s have approached a locked & secure front door to a house and broken the lock in an attempt to gain access, fortunately a secondary lock on the door prevented access and the offender is beleived to have left.
 

We would be grateful if residents in the George Barton Street, Starkie Road & Scowcroft Street areas could check any CCTV footage, doorbell cameras, dash cams etc that may have captured footage of anyone behaving suspiciously in the area at this time.

In the event you find any footage that you feel may be of interest to officers, please preserve this footage by saving it or downloading it from the device and get in touch by emailing: 66033@gmp.police.uk or Texting (SMS) 07391 409 252  with your name, telephone number or email address and we will then be able to send you a link to upload the footage to our CCTV Portal.

Officers from the Neighbourhood Priority Crime Team, The Neighbourhood Policing Team and Forensic Crime Scene Investigators (CSI) are working hard to bring the offenders to justice and will be increasing activity in the affected areas.
 

Please remember to ensure that doors and windows remain locked at all times - check, check and check again. 

Remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity immediately to GMP using 999.

Please see our other Bee In The Loop message from yesterday for other crime reduction advice. 

Kind Regards & Best Wishes

Bolton North Neighbourhood Policing Team.
