BREAKING: Two men arrested after pig's head thrown onto mosque roof
Two men have been arrested over a hate crime after a pig's head was thrown onto the roof of a mosque and community centre. Police carried out three raids in Stockport this morning .
Worshippers at the Heatons Muslims Community Trust in Heaton Mersey, which contains a mosque as well as community facilities, made the grim discovery as they left a gathering at around 9.15pm on Friday night. The animal's head had been placed on a low, flat part of the building's roof meaning it was easily visible, the Manchester Evening Newsreported in the following days.
Following the execution of the three warrants early this morning, Detective Inspector Gareth Beasley of GMP’s Stockport division said: "Hate crimes are abhorrent and have no place in civil society. Today’s action sends a clear message that GMP will leave no stone unturned in order to hold those responsible for such offences to account and demonstrates to our communities that hate crime will never be tolerated.
