Man rushed to hospital after shooting on estate as police also find 'several tens of thousands of pounds'
Armed police stormed a quiet estate on Thursday night following reports of a shooting. Officers raced to Overdale, in Swinton, at around 6pm to a "report of a firearms discharge".
Bags containing what is estimated to be "several tens of thousands of pounds of cash" were also recovered, with two males later arrested on suspicion of money laundering, firearms offences and drug offences. Residents reported a police helicopter hovering overhead shortly after the incident, with access to parts of the estate completely blocked off as enquiries were carried out.
Greater Manchester Police have since confirmed there will be an increase in officer patrols in the neighbouring area following the incident in a bid to reassure the community, and are urging people with information to come forward as they work at a 'fast pace' to investigate.
