The men were arrested after a 6am raid by police trading standards officers on Hall Lane, Little Lever, this morning, Friday.

Several vehicles including three caravans were recovered which after checks turned out to have been stolen from various locations around England and Wales.

After the raid, a 58-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of handling stolen goods, while a 29-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of breaching an electronically monitored curfew and a 19-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of theft from a motor vehicle.
