Police in Bolton are taking part in a special week aimed at bringing down “anti-social behaviour” across the city region.

This comes as part of ASB Awareness Week, which runs from Monday, July 3 to Sunday, July 9 this year.

Greater Manchester Police says the force is supporting the initiative, with its Bolton districts playing their part as well.

A spokesperson said: “ASB is categorised as any offence that causes harassment, alarm, or distress.

“From aggressive, noisy or abusive behaviour to neighbourhood disturbances involving drugs or animals, anti-social behaviour takes many forms.

“If yourself, or a member of your community is experiencing ASB, please report it to us via LiveChat or via the dedicated form on our website.

“Always call 999 in an emergency.

“You can also report incidents 100% anonymously to Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111, or through their online form.

“If you are a victim of anti-social behaviour or other types of crime, you can access the support that is available to help you cope and recover at Greater Manchester Victims Service.”

Bolton has seen various kinds of anti-social behaviour in recent times, ranging from anti-social driving to disturbances in the town centre and across the various districtcs.
