Three fire crews from Bolton Central and Bolton North were mobilised, and police were called after a fire broke out.

One door was smashed, and another door was set on fire.

When fire attended the scene, sprinklers had extinguished the blaze but there was flooding within the restaurant which was then dealt with by the firefighters.

Greater Manchester Police are continuing to ask members of the public with any information to call 101 quoting log 132 of 23/01/2023.
