Two seventeen year olds have been arrested following what police describe as an aggravated burglary in Audenshaw on Friday

Three tmasked men, dressed in dark clothing, had been seen attacking an address on West View, with a machete and forcing their way into the address, which was occupied at the time.

One of the teenagers has since been bailed, while the other remains in custody for further questioning.

It is unclear say police what the motive of the attack is at this stage and officers are working hard to understand this.

There is not believed to be a wider threat to the community at this time.

Detective Chief Inspector Abdul Kahar, from the Criminal Investigations Department and Intelligence Unit, said: “Incidents involving knives, burglary, or any kind of threatening behaviour are completely unacceptable and have no place in our community.

“We understand how concerning events like this can be, and I want to reassure residents that your local neighbourhood officers will be in the area over the coming days, providing a visible presence, offering support, and ensuring you feel safe.

“Our investigation is on-going, and officers are working tirelessly to piece together exactly what happened.

“We are determined to identify everyone involved, and anyone responsible for bringing fear or harm to our streets will face the consequences of their actions.
