A MAN was caught pulling a wheelie bin full of stolen goods.

Police stopped the man on Saturday morning along Bromwich Street in The Haulgh.

The stolen wheelie bin contained, say officers, "numerous items of property".

Some of the items were said to be stolen from a shed in Oakenbottom Road, Breightmet.

Posting on Facebook, GMP Bolton North said:"There is still a large storage box full of items, as well as a number of picture frames. If any of these are yours, please call the Breightmet North Neighbourhood Team on 0161 856 5761."

Officers added: "The male pulling the wheelie bin was found to be wanted for a breach of court order and was subsequently arrested."
