Drug dealing suspect arrested in Wigan town centre


A man has been arrested on suspicion of drug-dealing in Wigan.

More than 100 wraps of a suspected illegal substance, cash and measuring equipment were seized when officers pounced in Standishgate on Tuesday November 30.

A vehicle, illegally parked on a taxi rank, was also confiscated after what officers from GMP Wigan West called a “good spot” of suspect behaviour by PC Lamb of the Scholes Neighbourhood Team.

The unnamed man was arrested on suspicion of possessing class A drugs with intent to supply.
