Three people have been arrested for a range of alleged crimes after police found three stolen caravans.
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.
Bolton Neighbourhoods Chief Inspector Justine Topping said: “I would like to thank the public for their help and for the information we have received from them.
“We have worked hard to obtain the warrants, all of which were executed and saw us seize several outstanding stolen vehicles from Greater Manchester and other neighbouring forces in 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.
Chief Insp Topping added: “I would also like to extend my thanks to those who came and supported us today which included officers from the Tactical Aid Unit, as well as staff from the Stolen Vehicle Examination Unit, Trading Standards, and mutual aid representatives from the Stolen Vehicle Examination Unit at Lancashire Police.”
