Earlier today (Friday 31 August) officers from GMP’s Specialist Operations Branch executed an arrest warrant at an address in Ordsall.
It followed intelligence that a man was at the address that had been wanted by police since July this year.
Specially trained drivers from GMP’s Tactical Vehicle Intercept Unit were deployed to the property, along with the Tactical Aid Unit and dog handlers to assist with the arrest and any searches.
A 20-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of kidnap, burglary and threats to damage property. This relates to several incidents since July 2018.
Sergeant Adam West, from GMP’s Tactical Vehicle Intercept Unit, said:

“We currently have a man in custody being questioned by officers thanks to the swift actions of our officers.
“This was a well-planned and co-ordinated arrest and a great team effort by all units of the Specialist Operations Branch.
“Our work today has ultimately led to apprehending a man, all while keeping the public safe.”
