An investigation is ongoing after four people were arrested in connection with police drugs raids earlier this week.

Officers reported yesterday, Thursday August 15, that they had arrested four people on Thistleston Road in the south west of Bolton.

They have now confirmed that this after a misuse of drugs warrant was issued and that all four have been bailed while the investigation continues.

Sergeant Oliver Cooper, of GMP Bolton’s the Rumworth and Hulton team, said "This warrant is a result of hard work from PC Chadwick and the rest of my team whose priority is to make the communities of Rumworth and Hulton safer.
