Uniforms probe: two more arrested

TWO more people have been arrested by officers investigating the discovery of stolen police uniforms.

Police were called to a flat on Moss Road, Stretford, on Tuesday night after a bag containing high visibility jackets and body armour were found. Inquiries are continuing.

A 49-year-old man and a 48-year-old woman, both from Blackley, were yesterday arrested on suspicion of handling stolen goods.

They are currently being quizzed by officers.

This latest find follows the discovery of a huge stash of hundreds of uniforms at a flat in Cottenham Lane, Lower Broughton, on Monday.

Two men, aged 36 and 45, arrested on suspicion of aggravated burglary and handling stolen goods, have been released on bail pending further inquiries until June 1.

A 58-year-old woman arrested on suspicion of handling stolen goods has also been bailed until June 1, and a 38-year-old man arrested on Wednesday, on suspicion of aggravated burglary and handling stolen goods, remains in custody.
