The action follows two serious assaults in Rochdale in December 2020 which detectives believe to be the result of a feud between two rival groups.

At around 7.15pm on 17 December, a teenager was stabbed on Tweedale Street, Rochdale and taken to hospital with serious injuries. He was discharged three days later.

Over a week later on 28 December, just after 11.30pm, officers were also called to a report of a stabbing followed by a road traffic collision on the same street.

A 21-year-old man was hospitalised after sustaining lacerations to his arm and torso and also a broken arm. He was released two days later.

Enquiries are ongoing, and anyone with information is encouraged to contact police or Crimestoppers.
