GMP secure charges connected to burglaries across North Manchester and Oldham

At around 10am on 24 October 2022, two men and two juveniles were arrested in North Manchester by Neighbourhood Crime Team officers after a pursuit.

Inside the vehicle, officers located a number of tools and keys from outstanding stolen vehicles in North Manchester and Oldham in the early hours of 24 October 2022.

Further enquiries revealed that these men were connected to burglaries across four different divisions within the last month.

Two men, Lewis Dooley (28/09/2000) of Penn Street, Manchester and Bailey Hampson (11/03/2004) of Holland Road, Moston, and two juveniles who can’t be named for legal reasons have been charged with ten offences including burglary, theft of motor vehicle, going equipped to steal and dangerous driving.

Both adults have been remanded into custody to appear at Manchester Crown Court on 30 November 2022. Both Juveniles have been bailed to appear at Manchester Crown Court on 30 November 2022.

Detective Sergeant Terina Arthern of GMP’s City of Manchester district said: “Investigating burglaries and arresting suspects is a top priority for every district in Greater Manchester. I’m extremely pleased with the team’s hard work this week which has resulted in four suspects being charged and will hopefully go some way to reducing the number of burglaries in our communities.

“We will continue to do our part in fighting this type of crime, but we need members of the public to keep talking to us – the information you share is vital in tracing offenders and recovering stolen goods.”
