Armed police carried out a dramatic strike to arrest a suspect in relation to a series of shootings in Greater Manchester, it's been revealed.

Firearms officers were pictured last night - Tuesday - on Bury New Road in the Prestwich area of Bury after a man was taken into custody during the operation.

Greater Manchester Police confirmed today a 29-year-old man was 'detained' in the car park of the Aldi supermarket on Bury New Road at around 8.30pm after armed police stopped a black Audi that he was driving.

He's in custody and is due to be questioned today in relation to firearms offences, a GMP spokesman confirmed. Gunshots were fired at a house on Penn Street in Moston, north Manchester, at around 9.45pm on Monday night in what police later called a 'targeted attack'.
