Three men arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following incident in Oldham

Officers in Oldham have arrested three more people in connection with a firearms discharge in Glodwick.

We were called at around 5.30pm on 25 April to Minton Street after reports the window of a local chip shop had been damaged, believed to have been caused by a firearm.

Part of the road was closed off for several hours as officers carried out their enquiries and identified a suspect later arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

Officers carried out a further arrest warrant this morning (1/5/24) and detained a male suspect.

Later in the day, two more men handed themselves into a police station.

All three men - aged 23, 25 and 44 - remain in custody on suspicion of attempted murder. A fourth suspect arrested last week has been bailed.
