A man and women were the subject of a violent attack during a robbery at a pub in Hathershaw yesterday
The burglary took place at the Honeywell Arms on Ashton Road where the victims, a man and woman, were attacked.
It is believed two unknown male suspects entered the premises unforced through a first-floor window.
As the victims were awoken by the noise they were confronted and a fight occurred, where the female victim suffered an injury to her face receiving treatment at hospital. Thankfully, the male victim didn’t suffer any serious injuries.
Detective Sergeant Matt Adshead of GMP’s Oldham district said; “This is shocking incident where two people have been asleep in their own quarters before being startled in distressing circumstances.
“After our initial investigation, we are keeping all available lines of enquiry open, but believe it was a targeted attack.
“We are committed to finding those responsible to bring them to justice and ensure we can keep the local community safe and supported.
