Gun and ammunition discovered at Salford nursery closed due to rat infestation

Overview

Greater Manchester Police discovered a firearm and a substantial quantity of ammunition while searching the Mini Fingers nursery in Irlam, Salford. The nursery had already been closed following a prohibition order issued by Salford City Council due to a rat infestation caused by a collapsed drain. Two men were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply cocaine and cannabis, though police stated the drug and weapon investigation is unrelated to the nursery's closure.
