Three teenagers have escaped custodial sentences despite being part of a burglary gang which terrorised affluent areas of Stockport and south Manchester.
Harley Moran, at the time 18, and a boy then aged 16, who cannot be named for legal reasons, took part in a series of terrifying night-time burglaries in which expensive cars were taken in the Heatons in Stockport and Didsbury in south Manchester between December 2021 and February 2022.
Today (Monday) the pair, and a third member of the gang, Quamen Simms-Henry, 18 at the time, who was found at the wheel two of the stolen cars, were handed branded 'very young, very stupid, very immature young men' by a judge who decided to show mercy and spare the trio custodial sentences.
