Two men have been arrested after five guns were seized in Hindley.
Officers from the Xcalibre Organised Crime Unit stopped a car at the junction of Market Street and Atherton Road at 7.40pm last night as part of an ongoing operation. The two men, aged 41 and 27, who were in the car were arrested on suspicion of firearms offences. They remain in police custody for questioning.
Detective Superintendent Darren Shenton said: "These arrests are proof that our commitment to aim for gun-free streets continues to be effective at all levels - from strategic initiatives to actually taking action against people who buy and sell guns. "Several dangerous weapons were seized last night, weapons that will thankfully now not reach their intended destinations."
