A manhunt is underway after two thugs attacked a house and car while children were inside. The suspects, wearing coats and hats, smashed windows with golf clubs, leaving the family terrified. The incident is being investigated by Greater Manchester Police.
A manhunt is continuing after a house and a car were attacked by a pair of thugs while terrified children were screaming inside. The two suspects approached the property on Devonshire Road, in Atherton , on January 19, before attacking the car and living room window with golf clubs and sending glass shattering to the ground.
Dad Aarron Grundy, 27, was inside his home at the time with his two sons, aged five and 12 months, when horrific CCTV images showed the two individuals, wearing coats and hats, bashing holes into his car windscreen and putting through the windows of his home at around 12pm. Just moments before the incident, dad-of-two Aarron had sat his youngest baby son in his high chair in the living room and began making his older child some food when he heard 'what sounded like gunshots'. 'I went in the kitchen and all of a sudden, I heard what sounded like gunshot noises,' he previously told the M.E.N. 'Then I heard this massive shatter. I ran into the living room, and my eldest was hysterical. 'I looked up and the front window had completely gone. I was trying to duck to get my 12-month-old, who was sat in his high chair, right in front of the window they had just smashed. At the time, what was going through my head was the worry that one of my children would be shot.' Aarron, whose eldest son has been left 'completely traumatized' by the incident, then called 999. His window was boarded up by the council that same day. 'There was glass everywhere. My five-year-old was running around screaming and didn't know what to do. He was screaming the place down. I've never heard them both cry like that,' he said. 'All of it is a blur. I keep replaying it in my head. I went to the window and saw them both running off. 'We go to work and do our best to look after our children. That's it. We don't go out or get involved in anything.' Officers from Greater Manchester Police were called to reports of criminal damage, with forensic teams later called out to gather further evidence. A police spokesperson said: 'At 12pm on Sunday 19 January, we were called to Devonshire Road in Atherton to reports of criminal damage, where it’s believed a car and a property were smashed up. No arrests have been made at this stage, but an investigation is underway.
