Detectives have opened an investigation after blank shots were fired in Oldham.
Shortly after 11.50pm on Monday, 16 October, a man aged between 60 and 70 and wearing a long green fishing-style coat, a trilby hat and with a silver walking stick with a grey handle was seen with a gun on Waltham Street in Alexandra.
He fired the gun a number of times - without aiming it at anyone – before walking away in the direction of Roundthorn Road.
Officers attended and recovered blank cartridges which suggest no bullets were fired.
