Four more arrests and girl, 16, charged following 'serious disorder' in Salford

A dispersal order remains in place in Salford until 2pm tomorrow (June 12)

Four more people have been arrested following 'serious disorder' in Salford.

Police, including officers in riot gear, were called to reports of a gathering of around 50 to 60 people on Lower Broughton Road who were using cars and wheelie bins to block off the road this afternoon (June 11).

A police car's window was broken and a number of vehicles were burnt out during the disorder. Shocking footage shows vehicles screeching down the road.

Following the unrest, police have carried out an investigation and have detained four men in relation to three incidents in the Salford area.

A 16-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of theft and public order, before a man in his 30s was detained on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly and possession of Class A drugs. Two men aged 18 and 19 have been arrested on suspicion of possession of a bladed article.

The 16-year-old girl – who cannot be named for legal reasons – has been charged with assaulting an emergency worker and has been bailed to appear at court at a future date after being arrested earlier on Wednesday.

Superintendent Marcus Noden, of Greater Manchester Police, said: “I wanted to provide a further update into the disorder in Salford this afternoon, I would like to stress that there have been no further incidents since our last update.

“We have robust plans in place should any further incidents arise in the area, and we will take action like we did earlier on in the day, should we need to.

“A dispersal order remains in place in Salford until 2pm tomorrow afternoon (Thursday 12 June 2025) and anyone who does not abide by the law, will be dealt with.”
