Another 15year-old has been arrested on suspicion of theft and the father is undergoing questioning for murder. So we’ll have a uh we’ll have a look at the short video clip. Uh someone’s doorbell camera captured this and uh you can see this uh yourself. So this is the street in question. Uh there’s no sound on this clip, but you’ll see uh the the scooter flying down the street there. So that’s the one that was apparently stolen at knife point. Uh followed by this car uh plowing down the street and making contact. So it all happens quickly. Looks like it happens extremely fast, but this is real time speed. There’s a timer up in the top leftand corner there. Uh and you can see that this is happening in real speed. So uh the both the the scooter and the the vehicle were flying literally flying down the street at very very high speeds and despite the best evident efforts of ambulances at the time. Uh this is uh the cordone that was put up around the scene of the incident uh where they’re performing forensic investigations as this is now a murder inquiry. So uh the background uh again some of you may be aware of this uh if not it’s it’s certainly developing and an update has been issued. So a man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. Uh two arrests have been made so far. The man who was driving the car and uh a second teenager, 15year-old has been arrested also. The teenager was sadly pronounced dead at the scene and a 59year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder following uh his death. So they tried to save him at the scene after the collision.

Uh the young lad was pronounced dead at the scene. The GMP Greater Manchester Police are currently investigating the incident which involved a collision between the car and the bike. So we know the 59year-old is in custody. A large cordon remains in place at Rura Cresant. Uh so they’re trying to piece together the details exactly what happened. A lot of allegations flying around at this stage, but we do know that another male aged 15 has been arrested on suspicion of theft as part of that ongoing work by the police. So there were two alleged thieves uh in relation to this. uh one of whom is dead, died at the scene. The other one is under arrest. The man uh has been arrested on suspicion of murder, will be questioned in due course. Uh police reminding people that there’s a grieving family there. Do not speculate on social media while we place together the events of earlier today. So there is an update on this. There is an update on this that was released by Greater Manchester Police today. So, they have issued a murder investigation update. Uh, and this is the the youth who was uh uh deceased at the scene. His name is Devin Simmons. Devin Simmons. Tributes have been paid to him uh after he after he passed away. Uh the man in question obviously at the police station, he’s being investigated for murder. Now, as you could see from that video clip, uh he was uh driving at very high speeds through that housing area. And the tributes that have came in for this young lad, apparently graffiti has been sprayed on the walls. Large groups of youth have been gathering around. tensions are very very high in the area.

Uh let me know what you think in relation to, you know, what happened. Uh obviously all this happened pretty much in the in the twinkling of an eye. You know, the the the alleged robbery, the getaway, the followup, the collision, just like that. Just like that, we have a a dead teenager. We have a man arrested for murder. We have another lad locked up on suspicion of theft. And we have tensions that are very very high in the area. Uh allegedly there was a lot of antisocial behavior happening in that area as well. And tensions are continuing to rise. So leave me your thoughts and opinions in this one below. Uh father acting out of heat of the moment. Uh was he right? Was he wrong? Obviously, he’s been arrested for murder. Uh and you can’t just jump in your car and go driving over people if they commit even the theft uh of a of an escooter. But society is in a bad bad way at the minute. Tensions are so so high and people are feeling that they’re being failed by the police and failed by their government. And we’re starting to see communities and groups of people patrolling areas to self police areas to take care of business themselves when they feel that they’ve been left down let down by their local authorities or by the police or whoever it happens to be. And I’m not justifying or condoning any of these actions in any way, shape, or form, but I’m saying that they’re happening at the minute and there’s no getting away from it. And we’re seeing more and more reports of things like this that are happening or groups that are taking care of their own communities when they feel that the police have actually let them down. So, what are your thoughts on that? Please leave me your thoughts, comments, opinions below in the comments box. And uh are you in the area? Are you witnessing this? Are you following this case? What are your thoughts on it? Obviously, as time passes by, more information will become available. Uh, but for now I’m Rick Mun. This is No Risk No Reward Media. Over and out.
