Greater Manchester Police officers are looking to speak to these men (pictured above) following a burglary on Harold Street in Oldham on Friday, February 7, at approximately 4:30pm.

The image shows three men, all wearing dark clothing, in a car park.

Detectives believe the trio could be key witnesses for their investigation.

Meanwhile, in a separate shocking incident in Oldham on Monday (February 17), three men burst into a terrified pensioner's home and threatened her with kitchen knives.

It's been reported that the woman had only just woken up when three individuals entered her home near Crompton Street before 'asking where the money and drugs were' and even threatening to kill her at knifepoint.

After ransacking the upstairs of the pensioner's house, they then took her phone and made off from the scene.

The unknown individuals were picked up on nearby CCTV and doorbell footage and the police were called.

A GMP spokesperson said: "Officers were called to reports of a burglary at an address on Woodend Street in Oldham at around 10:13am on Monday 17 February 2025.

"Thankfully, no one was injured.

"No arrests have been made but our enquiries are ongoing.

"Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact police on 101, quoting the crime number 926 of 17/02/25.

"Alternatively, details can be shared on our LiveChat function on our website www.gmp.police.uk or via the independent charity, Crimestoppers, anonymously on 0800 555 111."
