Armed police were among a huge team of officers that arrested a boy found riding a moped linked to an alleged crimewave across Stockport.
The boy was spotted wearing a balaclava and riding a moped without registration plates through Adswood at around 1.40pm yesterday (March 28). The vehicle was identified as stolen, and police believed it to be linked to 'several serious incidents' in Stockport over recent days.
Greater Manchester Police says those incidents include robbery and attempted robbery, where violence was 'used against victims by offenders armed with weapons'. A spokesperson for GMP Heatons and Reddish added: "Thankfully no serious injuries were caused, but these events have left the victims and witnesses understandably shaken.
