A community has been left reeling
A community has been rocked after a balaclava-clad gang descended with weapons before smashing up a block of flats. Neighbours living near The Meadows in Alkrington Moss, Middleton, heard 'consecutive bangs' while windows were shattered.
Greater Manchester Police confirmed residents also reported a 'loud bang'. One neighbour, living close to the scene, told the Manchester Evening News he heard 'consecutive bangs'. Unconfirmed reports of 'gunshots' emerged earlier today as the community tried to piece together what had happened. The M.E.N. understands another property, away from the block which was targeted, was caught up in the incident.
A large police presence descended on the neighbourhood, with a cordon in place until earlier today. At least one police officer remained at the block which was targeted well into this afternoon. GMP believes last night's incident to be isolated, but among residents in the community there is growing concern. A resident in the next set of flats at The Meadows told the M.E.N. his and another block on the estate had previously been targeted by a group in the middle of the night.
