Two people have been arrested after a couple were threatened with knife in their own home before their car was stolen in Heald Green on Tuesday evening.
The two offenders had broken into the back door of a property on Wythens Road
Once inside the address, they then threatened the occupants – a man and woman – with a knife while demanding access to their car.
The offenders then made off in the car – an Audi A4 – leaving the victims uninjured but understandably shaken.
Later that evening, the vehicle was spotted travelling through Wythenshawe and was stopped by police on Washway Road in Trafford.
A 34-year-old man and 42-year-old woman were arrested on suspicion of aggravated burglary and other offences. They both remain in custody for questioning.
Enquiries remain on going.
Detective Inspector Julia Bowden of GMP’s Stockport district, said: “This was a frightening ordeal for the victims of this burglary and we are doing all we can to thoroughly investigate this incident and ensure that those responsible are brought to justice.
“We have made two important arrests in connection to this incident, and I hope that this demonstrates our commitment to tackling this type of crime whenever and wherever it occurs.
