WHAT a wonderful police force we have.
While enjoying a meal last Thursday at a restaurant in Standish, near Wigan, my daughter and her boyfriend came out to find that their car had been stolen.
After informing the police and insurance company, we resigned ourselves to receiving only bad news.
However, the following day, a sharp-eyed police officer, patrolling in Farnworth, spotted the vehicle behaving suspiciously and followed it, causing the two lads to abandon the car and run off.
The officer was alone and unable to arrest the offenders, but rang my daughter to tell her the location of the car and stayed there until she and her mum went to collect it.
The officer was kind, informative, and professional.
Well done, Bolton Police.
