Two suspected loan sharks got a rude awakening this morning as police smashed through their front door. Shouts from officers boomed across the unsuspecting street in Stockport just after 6.30am, warning the couple inside to answer.
Curtains twitched and heads popped out from neighbouring doorways as the pair emerged from the property in handcuffs. A 42-year-old man and a 43-year-old woman were arrested on suspicion of illegal money lending and money laundering offences.
The calls from officers heard across Brinnington Estate were so loud one shocked neighbour screamed ‘call the police’. She was stunned when met with the response, 'we are the police'.
