THE owners of a derelict Greenfield mill have sealed up entrances and secured fencing after reports to police.

Tesco Greenfield has seen an increase in youth-related issues highlighted by the empty premises to the side on Wellington Road.

Youths had entered the mill and thrown items out of upper windows and a police spokesman said: "Now entry points have been sealed and the fence line has been secured this will hopefully keep trespassers out."

* Police are focussed on finding green-fingered burglars after a series of raids on sheds and garages in Grasscroft.

They have launched high visibility patrols backed by units from Oldham.
