A POLICE operation targeting suspects of driving offences has celebrated its first success.

Officers say a person is in custody as a result of the ‘Wanted for Christmas’ campaign, which has seen police release the details of three suspects who failed to appear in court charged with driving offences.

In a statement, a GMP spokesman said: “Thank you for your help so far in our ‘Wanted for Christmas’ operation which is to make the roads in Bolton safer.”

To provide information to police call 101 or ring Crimestoppers , on 0800 555 111.
