Three more teenagers arrested in connection with violent disorder in Bury

We have arrested three more people as part of an investigation into series of violent incidents in Bury.

This takes the total number of arrests to 18 in connection with the incidents in March 2024.

In the latest action to target those we believe responsible, two 17-year-old males and a 16-year-old boy were arrested on suspicion of violent disorder. All three have been released on bail pending further enquiries.

A 17-year-old male has been previously charged with violent disorder and possession of a bladed article, while a 20-year-old man has been charged with section 18 assault, violent disorder and possession of an offensive weapon and has been remanded into custody.

Detective Inspector Chris Mannion said: "We won’t tolerate this kind of behaviour in Bury and will continue to track down those we believe responsible.

“Extra officers have been deployed to the area since the incident to support the community and those increased patrols will continue.

"We have reviewed hours of CCTV footage of the incidents and are still appealing to anyone with information to make a report to police.

“This includes anyone who may have relevant footage including CCTV, mobile, Ring doorbell or dashcam. You can make a report by calling 101, quoting log 1338 of 11/03/2024.

“Alternatively, you can make a report anonymously by calling the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
