Three men have been arrested after a burglary in Bromley Cross.

Officers say they received reports of a burglary at a house on Hospital Road on Monday August 14, where a vehicle was stolen.

The Tactical Vehicle Intercept Unit made the arrests in connection with the burglary.

A spokesperson for GMP Bolton North said: “Three men have been arrested following a burglary in Bromley Cross.

“On Monday August 14, 2023, police received reports of a burglary at a house on Hospital Road, whereby a vehicle was stolen.

“Yesterday (Thursday August 17, 2023), officers from our Tactical Vehicle Intercept Unit arrested three men in relation to the burglary.

“A 38-year-old, 23-year-old and 21-year-old have been arrested on suspicion of burglary and theft of motor vehicle.

“They remain in police custody for questioning.”

Yesterday Bolton West Police officers issued advice on the best ways to protect homes after they received a report of an attempted burglary around the Molyneux Road area of Westhoughton.

Police also launched Operation Castle in 2021 as officers committed a pledge to the Government to send an officer to every domestic burglary in Greater Manchester.

Following the success of the pilot operation in Greater Manchester Police, in October 2022, the Home Office announced that all police forces across the country would be required to attend every report of domestic burglary as part of the Government’s overall commitment to reducing crime, lessening victims, and creating a safer country.

In the last two years, GMP has arrested 4544 individuals, and incidents of burglary have decreased by 21 per cent, with officers vowing to continue in their efforts to rid the region of this distressing and intrusive crime.

From July 2021 to July 2023, GMP solved 39 per cent more residential burglaries.
