Police have arrested two men after they uncovered an axe and a machete from a car they stopped near Strangeways. A number of weapons were found in the boot of the vehicle following the stop-search in Cheetham Hill on Tuesday night (November 1).
At around 11.20pm, a member of public had called police after seeing a small group of 'suspicious' men with their faces covered putting the machete and an axe into the boot of the car on Bury New Road.
Armed police found the car that matched the description just 15 minutes later before it was stopped on Waterloo Road. Two men were detained as the car was searched.
