An ITV spokesperson confirmed: "We can confirm a small domestic generator was stolen during a low level opportunistic theft from the unit base of filming today for Coronation Street whilst the crew were on location in Bolton. The programme's cast and crew weren't at the unit base at the time. The incident was reported to the police and filming wasn't affected."
