3 arrests after shots blasted at family home in.'brazen attack"

Police were called to reports of a firearms discharge at a house on Prince Edward Avenue in Oldham at around lam yesterday.

Residents woke to find a stretch of the residential street taped off by police as forensic officers scoured the area for evidence and took photos of a smashed window at a house.

A video of the 'brazen attack' was also circulated on social media afterwards, which appeared to show a man holding the gun before appearing to fire at least two shots outside a house.

Onlookers continued to video the suspect as he appeared to shout and kick the door of the same house.

An investigation was launched into the shooting, before armed officers traced the suspects to Chester where they were arrested in their car.
