A 16-year-old boy has been charged in connection with a string of crimes that rocked Ancoats in an hour of terror, including the smashing of car windows and robbing a man at gunpoint.

An armed mob inflicted a ‘campaign of terror’ on Ancoats in the early hours of this morning with an hour-long crime spree that saw one victim robbed at gunpoint.

Two callous robbers who broke into a 70-year-old man’s home and stole his late wife’s wedding ring from around his neck are being hunted by police.
