Police have advised people to ensure their homes are safe, particularly if they are heading on holiday.

Alife Hosker, the technical manager at Secured by Design, the official police security initiative, said: “Most burglars are opportunists, with their motive in the main being to get into property as quickly as possible, steal something of value and then leave as quickly as possible.

“A secure home will therefore be a deterrent to them and reduces the chance of you becoming a victim of a burglary.”

Police have also said their priorities in the west of Bolton include drug supply in Westhoughton and anti-social behaviour over the summer ant school holidays.
