A man wanted by police has been arrested after two weapons and ammunition were recovered from a house in Failsworth.
At around 1.20pm on Monday (26 July), Oldham South's Neighbourhood Policing Team attended an address on Alder Road.
During a search of the address, a sawn off shotgun along with 15 cartridges of ammunition were seized.
Officers also found a converted pistol containing five rounds of ammunition in the magazine.
At the time of the search, a 41-year-old woman was also arrested at the house.
Police say she has since been bailed and enquiries are ongoing.
Another suspect was later found on Wednesday (28 July) in a hotel in Oldham.
