Drunken schoolboy's drugs run on moped

A DRUNKEN schoolboy stole a moped - then used it to deal drugs on the streets of Bolton.

The 15-year-old was eventually stopped by two special constables who were on patrol in Breightmet.

They searched the boy and found he was carrying 67 pills - believed to be ecstasy tablets.

He spent a night in police custody and was released the next day after being questioned by officers.

The teenager has been told to report back to a police station on May 24 when tests on the pills will have been completed.

His arrest came as police continued a high profile crackdown on anti-social behaviour in the area following the introduction of new dispersal' powers which give them the authority to order gangs of youths out of the area.

Inspector Tony Kenyon, who is responsible for policing in the area, said: "We believe this boy was involved with dealing drugs and we would appeal for anyone with information about this to come forward.

"We will continue our battle against anti-social behaviour in this area and ensure the streets of Breightmet are as safe a place as possible for residents."

The special constables were on patrol in the Bury Road area of Breightmet when they saw two boys riding on a scooter with no helmets on at 10.35pm on Friday.

The officers went to speak to the boys. The teenage rider was stopped and the constables quickly discovered the scooter had been stolen.

The boy, who was drunk, was searched by the officers who found the pills on him.

He was arrested on suspicion of driving while under the influence of drink or drugs, taking a vehicle without consent, driving without a driving licence and possession of drugs with intent to supply.

A passenger on the scooter saw the officers approaching and ran off. He is now being hunted by police. The Bury Road area of Breightmet became a designated police "dispersal zone" this month in an attempt to rid the area of troublemakers. Anyone found gathering in groups of more than two and causing a nuisance will be moved on by officers and told not to return to the area for 24 hours.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call police on 0161 856 5795 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

about as long as it takes to work through the cases that were submitted prior to this, I'd imagine. Then you have to prioritise issues, so as to give priority to more serious crimes, serious violence, rape etc.

Hope they string the little lighter up by his nads. Probably the same scumbag who stole my bike too.

A school boy drunk, with a stolen moped and in possession of drugs.
He should get a couple of hours community service for that lot. But then again, with the do-gooders and the politically correct brigade, he could get a holiday somewhere in the sun.

Hey Billy Bob, Breightmet again?


You are quite right that criminals cimmit crime endemically throughout Bolton. But I suspect most of the crims live in Breightmet/TongeMoor
/Farnworth/Johnson Fold. We had a big time art forger up in Bromley Cross recently of course, but I don't think he was going around slashing anyone.

This bum should have been tied in a sack and flung into the canal years ago.

Another career criminal in the making. He will cost the state a fortune and bring misery to everyone he meets.
Why can't we give these scums the punishment which they so sorely need and which might just force them to become human.

a 15 year old should have been murdered years ago, you say, and that would have made him more human, how?

I wouldn't call it murder. Let's say put down.

A 15 year old. You make it sound as though this bum is a naughty boy who has been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
He's a drug dealing bum who will go on to sell drugs to decent kids who might have had a future, if they hadn't had the misfortune to have come into contact with turd.

If his death saves one kid from getting hooked on drugs, then it's not only a price worth paying, it's a bargin.

Yeah. Your right Boris. He probably spends all day with one hand in his pocket and the other in his boyfriends pocket.

It wouldn't have made him better, declan, you PC freak. It would have made sure he didn't steal my bike though. Idiot. You do-gooding hypocrites will NEVER understand until you wake up one morning and find your daughter raped, your house burgled, your car burnt to a crisp, and your own blood all over the place. Maybe, just maybe, you'll then work it out. Assuming, that is, that you've actually worked and paid for things out of your own pocket. It's called the real world.

Where do you live and
why do you have such a poor opinion of Breightmet?

Posted by: OldBoltonian on 8:24pm Thu 27 Mar 08
Chippy, wait till you've been burgled, mugged, and your burnt out vehicle found in Breightmet. Then ask again if you can.
Posted by: chip pan head, Bolton on 8:38pm Thu 27 Mar 08
I actually live in Breightmet - it was only when I lived in Bromley X when I was burgled and they stole my car..

I moved soon after as I found the blue flashing police lights zooming up and down Turton Road rather alarming.

Posted by: kingfisher, Bolton on 9:07pm Thu 27 Mar 08
Spot on chip pan head!
I have lived in breightmet for fourteen years and have had no bother, I lived in Chapeltown for three months and had the car screwed 3 times. Granted there are idiots in breightmet but they are outweighed by the number of decent folks living there, blimey they wont even let you join the conservative club unless you can string two sentences together!
looks like silly bob,sorry billy bob would have to frequent the oasthouse!

My colleague at work lives on sumerton road. I have been there a few times seems all right to me.

Every week decent, law abiding citizens have to pick up the bill for the actions of irresponsible morons. These people show no regard for their victims rights, yet wail with indignation about their rights if a copper so much as grabs them by the shoulder.
It's about time that rights weren't something which some little turd thinks they are born with but something which others have fought, suffered and even died for.
What rights should some 16 year old sh1t who jumps on the roof of someones car and who has not yet contributed to society be entitled to?
None, he hasn't earned any.

Apart from a minority of limp wristed, do-gooders. The people of our country are sick to the teeth of having to put up with juvenile deliquents getting away with crime. The government should get these crumbums sorted out. It's what decent people pay taxes for.

If we are to beleive the industry that has sprung up promoting the idea of 'global warming' will affect our next generation, why don't we sterilse these feral mongrels and stop them breeding.
Our next generation will thank us more for that than the inability to grow grapes in Moses Gate Country Park
