“I want to provide reassurance that we believe this incident to be isolated, and we have stepped up our patrols of the area.
“Our local teams already have dedicated patrol plans in place for the centre to deter and provide quick responses to any incidents that may arise. Anyone with concerns should also speak to officers, who are happy to provide support.
“Anyone with information on this incident should contact police on 101 quoting log 750 of 10/09/23.”
A section of Bolton Steet was cordoned off until around 10.30am this morning with police and crime scene investigators at the the scene.
