TWO men arrested in Tyldesley following a series of dawn drug raids have been named.

Shaun Kearsley, aged 42, was arrested at his Castle Street home after eleven houses were raided by Bolton’s Organised Crime Unit yesterday morning as part of crackdown on the supply of illegal drugs.

He was charged with two counts of supplying heroin while Paul Grimshaw, aged 42, was charged with one count of supplying heroin and cocaine following his arrest at his Darlington Street home.

Both are due to appear at Bolton Magistrates' today, Thursday, along with 10 other defendants arrested during the raids in Bolton.
