Armed police called to ‘aggravated burglary’ in Audenshaw

The incident was reported on West View in Audenshaw just after 3pm on Friday, February 13, with three men allegedly taking part in what police believe was an aggravated burglary.

Two 17-year-old boys have since been arrested around 40 minutes after police were called to the incident.

Detective Chief Inspector Abdul Kahar, from our Criminal Investigations Department and Intelligence Unit, said: “Incidents involving knives, burglary, or any kind of threatening behaviour are completely unacceptable and have no place in our community.

“We understand how concerning events like this can be, and I want to reassure residents that your local neighbourhood officers will be in the area over the coming days, providing a visible presence, offering support, and ensuring you feel safe.

“Our investigation is ongoing, and officers are working tirelessly to piece together exactly what happened.

“We are determined to identify everyone involved, and anyone responsible for bringing fear or harm to our streets will face the consequences of their actions.

“Keeping our communities safe is our absolute priority, and we will continue to work closely with residents to maintain that safety.”
