A police watchdog is to investigate a complaint made by a woman about the treatment she received in custody at a Greater Manchester station.

The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said it received two referrals from the force on July 26 regarding allegations made by the woman about her detention at Pendleton police station in Salford in February 2021.

It comes after three women accused the force of unjustified strip searches. Last week, Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham said he was in discussions with Dame Vera Baird KC and would be asking her to look at the care the women received after they were arrested.
