Additional arrests were made in Rochdale as part of a break-in raid by the Rochdale Neighborhood Task Force. Two men were arrested on Wednesday October 20.

A 39-year-old man was arrested and held for questioning following a break-in at an address on Denehurst Road in Rochdale in September and a vehicle crash on the fairway in Castleton earlier this month.

Following a break-in at an address on Whitworth Road in Rochdale in July this year, a 20-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of the break-in and remains on custody for questioning.

Rochdale Neighborhood Task Force Inspector Graham Cooke said, “I hope our communities will understand that we are committed to combating this type of criminal behavior.

“Break-ins can have very real and devastating effects on those affected, and we will continue to take action and bring those responsible to justice.”

Three arrests were made earlier this week as part of the break-in raid.
