Update on incident at Manchester Airport

We understand that there is continued public interest and concern about the criminal investigations being led by Greater Manchester Police into a series of incidents at Manchester Airport in July.

Four men remain on police bail.

Our Major Incident Team - led by an experienced Senior Investigating Officer - is making good progress in investigating alleged criminal offences against both the public, and police officers, and we are committed to reaching a conclusion to the investigation as soon as possible in the interests of justice.

This is a complex case so we ask for public support in bearing with us while we make sure that enquiries are completed thoroughly.

We also remain fully committed to supporting the IOPC led investigation into our officers actions.

If you have any information to support the police’s investigation, we urge you to upload information, images, or footage to GMP’s Public Portal: https://mipp.police.uk/operation/06GMP23S59-PO1

We have received lots of queries about the welfare of our officers and have passed these messages on to them. They are being well supported.
