Armed police stormed a quiet estate on Thursday night (December 29) following reports of a shooting. Officers raced to Overdale, in Swinton, at around 6pm to a "report of a firearms discharge".
A man was rushed to hospital from the scene, with injuries not thought to be life-threatening. A large cordon was immediately erected by officers, with detectives and forensics seen carrying out investigations for a number of hours.
Bags containing what is estimated to be "several tens of thousands of pounds of cash" were also recovered, with two males later arrested on suspicion of money laundering, firearms offences and drug offences.
