Officers now have the power to carry out ‘targeted stop and searches’ in Moss Side, according to Greater Manchester Police. This comes in the wake of police stepping up patrols in the area after a fatal shooting earlier this month.
Superintendent Phil Spurgeon of GMP’s City of Manchester district, said: "We've made the decision to authorise Section 60 powers today to help prevent violence and keep people safe.

I would like to use this opportunity to appeal to parents/carers to talk to young people about their plans for the weekend to ensure they are both safe and legal.

In an emergency, always dial 999. Information about crime can also be shared anonymously via the independent charity - Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
