Three boys – aged 14, 16 and 17 – have been taken to custody to be questioned on suspicion of assault and violent disorder in connection with the serious assault of a teenage boy in the Arndale Centre last week.
Police targeted addresses in the Newton Heath, Moston and Miles Platting areas of the city earlier today
Chief Inspector Wignall, of our City Centre Neighbourhood team, said: “Extensive enquiries – including assessment of CCTV and mobile phone footage – have been carried out ever since this incident occurred, which has resulted in three arrests relating to last Friday’s incident.
“We’ve seen unacceptable anti-social behaviour in our city centre of late and we are clear in saying we will not tolerate it, and those involved who we haven’t already spoken to should expect further police contact in the coming days and weeks.”
