POLICE officers have seized two golly dolls from a shop following a complaint that they were offensive.

The toys were photographed and taken away as evidence from the furniture and gift shop in Wrightington, near Wigan.

Owner Gavin Alexander said a woman came into the shop and asked that the dolls be removed because her black boyfriend was offended.

Lancashire Police confirmed a member of the public had made a complaint but said no further action would be taken.
