An investigation has been opened after police found guns and ammunition at an address in Brinnington.

During a search on Friday 12 June, officers found and seized an MP5 sub-machine gun, a Grand Power pistol, and ammunition.

The warrant took place as part of an ongoing Greater Manchester Police operation to disrupt criminal activity in the area and take dangerous weapons off the streets.

As yet, no arrests have been made, but enquiries are ongoing as officers look to 'establish the full circumstances' around the weapons.

Detective Inspector Mark Graham, who leads the Stockport Challenger Team, said: "We have done some fantastic work in recovering firearms in Greater Manchester - between April 2024 and April 2026 – GMP took 150 firearms off our streets.

"Friday's discovery has prevented potentially serious harm to those who work and live in the area, these type of weapons have no place on our streets and are incredibly powerful, and dangerous.

"Our investigation is progressing and we are following numerous lines on enquiry in relation to who these belong to and how they ended up where they did."

Police are encouraging anybody with information about illegal firearms or suspicious activity in their area to get in touch.
