Police are probing a series of 'linked' and 'targeted' incidents that saw a gun discarded in a bin bag and homeowners 'attacked with bats' following a huge brawl in Wigan.
A large scale fight initially broke out in the early hours of Sunday (April 23) on Wellfield Road, shortly after midnight, with stop and search powers now introduced in response.
After this, at around 1.30am, a report of an aggravated burglary came in nearby, on Laburnum Grove, where it is believed four men entered a property and assaulted residents with bats.
