A dispersal order has been put in place in Droylsden today (June 9) following a string of 'violent crime' in the Tameside town. The order follows reports of two men being taken to hospital with injuries after an incident yesterday (June 8).
At around 4.25pm on Thursday, Greater Manchester Police were called to a disturbance on Cemetery Road in Droylsden. Police say two men were then taken to hospital with injuries to their legs which are believed not to be life-threatening.
Police have now put a dispersal order in place across the area until 6pm on Saturday (June 10). The order gives police the power to stop and search individuals within the defined area during this time period.
