A robbery and murder suspect was holed up in an apartment near my house for three days. He had a baby with him so the cops couldn't just barge in and take him. The police helicopters were over my neighborhood constantly. He finally took a bullet, the baby's fine, and the droning overhead is gone.
A new specialist team cracking down on robberies and key suspects across Manchester has secured five arrests in an overnight operation.
The team – working across one of the busiest and most diverse districts in the country – will be working to bring down robbery levels, strengthen investigative outcomes, and build greater public confidence through its sustained proactive work.
In recent weeks, the team has already begun to secure results as part of their goal, including last night’s arrests.
At around 7.30pm, officers from the team stopped a 24-year-old man in the Tib Street area.
Following a search, a mobile phone – suspected of being stolen – was recovered. He was subsequently arrested on suspicion of handling stolen goods.
Officers then conducted a search of the suspect’s address in Withington, with a further quantity of suspected stolen goods recovered. This includes five high-value push bikes, 26 mobile phones, multiple tablet devices, laptops, watches, and designer clothing.
Around £15,000 in cash was additionally seized. The items will be assessed and analysed over the coming days.
As part of the work at the address, a further four men, aged between 19 and 27, were arrested on suspicion of offences including handling stolen goods, possession of criminal property, and money laundering.
Inspector Leon McLaughlin, from the newly created team, said: “This overnight work saw us achieve five arrests and seize tens of thousands of pounds worth of cash and suspected stolen goods.
“This shows how effective our proactive work can be – while it began with a stop-search, we are now launching a much wider-scale investigation into robbery and criminal goods offences.
“I have no doubt at all that we will continue to produce more successful results as the team continues to work with local neighbourhood teams ,
specialist resources, and response officers to secure arrests, charges, and more.”
Force lead for Robbery at Greater Manchester Police, Chief Superintendent Helen Critchley said: “Robbery is a crime that causes untold and lasting harm to its victims. In addition to the impact on the victims themselves these offences often happen in open and public spaces, and so affect feelings of safety in the local community.
“Within GMP, we are committed to the role of effective neighbourhood policing in providing public reassurance, preventing these offences and responding efficiently when they do.
“As part of the Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee the force has invested in the creation of a new City of Manchester robbery team, who will be tackling all aspects of robbery, including knife-enabled robbery.
“These frontline officers will provide a visible deterrent, proactively target offenders and when offences do occur, they will provide a best standard of initial investigation to maximise opportunities to bring offenders to justice."
You should call 101, the national non-emergency number, to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response.

B&M, Manchester Fort 25-10-2016:
B&M at the Manchester Fort was closed this evening following an armed robbery.
The store that has been targeted before according to a member of staff was closed as police rushed to assist.
According to one witnesses who was shopping with her two children inside the store at the time, two men entered the store armed with a crow bar and a machete. She also told me they pushed one customer out of the way and then demanded cash.
They then left the store and made escape in a vehicle outside.
Police were seen taking statements in-store from members of staff and shopping customers.
Many customers were confused when being told the store was closed for the evening.

Someone tried breaking into the Children's Center last night. It appears they tried to pry open the door, and busted the door jam.
They didn't get in.
The Murder Stone
Have ridden past this so many times i'm surprised its taken me this long to do some research on it!
Erected in April 1874 this stone was placed to the memory of William Wood. A weaver from Eyam; William was travelling back home from the Tuesday Manchester Markets with roughly £100 on him (about £7,600 in today's money). He was set upon by three young men who had followed him from a nearby public house. The men brutally killed William beating his head in using the stones from the wall similar to those now surrounding this memorial.
This stone, set in beautiful surroundings on the old road from Disley to Whaley Bridge stands a reminder to his untimely death and a warning to any further criminals.
"Prepare to meet thy God"
The 3 men were later caught the first hung himself in custody and the others were executed.
