Our investigations are ongoing, and we will have additional officers in the area tonight and over the weekend.

Knife crime can have devastating consequences, and the public expects police officers to confront those who are causing the problems.

I want to reassure the community that we will continue to work closely with our partner agencies to keep Trafford and the wider Greater Manchester community safe and secure.
