A police operation is underway in Weaste after gunshots were fired in the street over the weekend
Detectives say following reports from members of the public they have established a number of shots had been fired on Jane Street
Detective Inspector Justin Bryant, of GMP’s Salford crime investigation department, said: “Thankfully, no injuries were reported to us but this was reckless and we are trying hard to establish what has happened that led up to us being called.
“We are in the very early stages of our investigation and our main priority now is focussing on a white SUV vehicle which was seen in the area around the time of the incident, finding this vehicle may help us know more about what has happened.
“Extra officers have been deployed in and around the local area both on foot and in patrol cars over the coming days and officers will also be in the area conducting further enquiries to build more of a picture of what has happened.
“We understand and share the local concern that this incident may cause to those living nearby, in Salford or further afield across Greater Manchester. If you have any concerns about this incident, our officers will be happy to provide reassurance and listen to any of your questions.
“It is so important if you have any information, or saw anything suspicious to come forward and speak to us, whether it is CCTV footage, doorbell footage, photos, or descriptions of the suspects or events, we would ask that you report it to us directly.”
