Following the disorder and criminality witnessed earlier this week more than 60 people have been dealt with by the courts in Manchester, many of them jailed.
The criminals who attempted to destroy the spirit of Greater Manchester have failed with communities from every background including the business community standing against them in solidarity. The support shown to the police has been overwhelming.
GMP would urge individuals to respect their communities and not take part in criminal activity.
GMP will safeguard communities against sporadic disorder across Greater Manchester.
Crime is most effectively prevented when the police work hand in hand with partner organisations and communities across Greater Manchester.
GMP is working closely with all communities to ensure their safety and security at all times.
GMP and its partners have been working together with volunteers, mediators and community leaders with unrivalled solidarity to provide reassurance to local communities.
We encourage the community to support its young people to be responsible citizens.
We strongly advise that parents and guardians know the whereabouts of their children at all times and supervise them appropriately.
We ask for your continued support in catching those responsible for the sporadic disorder and acts of criminality we witnessed earlier this week. Please contact the police if there are any problems, so that together we can continue to keep the communities of Greater Manchester safe and secure.
