Seven of Bolton’s most wanted hand themselves in after cards

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) announced at the start of December they would be sending Bolton’s most wanted an “unwanted Christmas card” in the post.

They said they’ve identified offenders who are still evading the police, with the cards urging them to turn themselves in.

GMP have said the cards have led to seven people handing themselves in – with a further 30 arrested throughout December for failing to appear at court.

A spokesperson for GMP said: “As a result of our Christmas cards sent out before Christmas, seven people have handed themselves in to the police.

“In addition to the seven people who handed themselves in, we have arrested 30 people throughout December who were wanted for failing to appear at court.”
