Two men arrested after pig's head left on roof of Stockport mosque
Police are treating the incident last week as a hate crime
Two men have been arrested in connection with a hate crime in Stockport, in which a pig's head was left on the roof of a mosque.
Early this morning officers from Greater Manchester Police raided three properties in Stockport, arresting two men in connection with the incident that took place on Battersea Road on Friday 9 December.
Two men, aged 22 and 47, remain in police custody for questioning.
Detective Inspector Gareth Beasley of GMP’s Stockport division said: "Hate crimes are abhorrent and have no place in civil society.
"Today’s action sends a clear message that GMP will leave no stone unturned in order to hold those responsible for such offences to account and demonstrates to our communities that hate crime will never be tolerated."
Anyone with information on the incident is still being asked to come forward to help police with their investigation.
