In a significant development, Greater Manchester Police’s (GMP) anti-gang detectives have launched a proactive investigation that has exposed what they believe to be an organised crime group systematically targeting commercial premises across Greater Manchester and Staffordshire. The suspects are allegedly using explosive devices to access cash from ATMs.
On Tuesday night, detectives from GMP’s Serious Organised Crime Group, with support from firearms officers and the dog unit, apprehended two individuals, aged 36 and 39, on suspicion of conspiracy to commit robbery and conspiracy to cause an explosion.
