GMP are appealing for witnesses after a shop in Sackville Street is targeted by vandals for the third time

Greater Manchester Police are appealing for the public’s help in identifying these two people (pictured), who are believed to have attacked Clone Zone on Sackville Street at approximately 6pm on Monday 24 April 2023.

This is the third in a series of incidents, in which the store has had its windows smashed, over the last few months.

The two people were seen on CCTV entering Sackville Street, before one of them jumped off the back of the distinctive-looking red motorcycle, to repeatedly smash the windows of the shop.

After a minute or so, they jumped back onto the motorcycle and left in the direction of London Road.

Chief Inspector Wignall of CoM said: “GMP will not tolerate these kinds of mindless acts of vandalism in the city and as such, we are providing ongoing support to the owners of the shop, whilst we thoroughly investigate these incidents.

“This appears to be targeted to this one particular shop and we have increased patrols in the area, providing reassurance to the local community and shop owners.

“If there is anyone who can ID these two people, particularly through the distinctive motorcycle they were on, we would urge them to get in touch with us. Similarly, any dashcam or doorbell footage that can be provided, we would welcome this.

“If anyone has any information, we ask that you contact 101 quoting log number 002955-24042023, or through the Live Chat function on our website www.gmp.police.uk.

“Information can also be passed through the independent charity – Crimestoppers – on 0800 111 555. 999 should be dialled in case of an emergency.”
