The gang-torn UK town being ripped apart by live-streamed shootings & Breaking Bad-style meth labs

- IN the dead of night, a shattering series of bangs reverberated around a Greater Manchester street.
Mistaking it for fireworks, startled residents peered out of their window. When they realised it was gunfire, some panicked - others simply went back to bed.
The shocking 1am attack on a home in Prince Edward Avenue, in the Clarksfield area of Oldham, was live-streamed on Snapchat last week, with footage appearing to show a man firing at least six shots through a window.
Defiant locals insist the terrifying incident was out of character for the street, but after a spate of gun-related crimes in Oldham, they fear the area’s culture of drugs and gang violence is increasingly spiralling out of control.
It comes amid growing concern about firearms offences in the UK, which have risen nine per cent nationally year-on-year and come under scrutiny following the horrific death of nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel in Liverpool in August 2022.
Nadeeem Iqbal, a 45-year-old father-of-four and councillor for the ward, lives on Prince Edward Avenue and went out to check on the family after the attack.
He said: “It was a shocking moment. We came straight out of the house once we realised there had been gunshots and people were screaming and running about.
“We checked on the family and they were okay, luckily they didn’t answer the door.
“The only saving grace from this is that it was a targeted and isolated incident. This is not normal for this street.
“But the police did their job and responded quickly. There were families and children out on the street, with a lot of people upset and scared.
“Oldham has seen a few incidents of gun crime in recent weeks and this needs to be clamped down.
“We do not know what is behind this but it is a worry when guns are in your community, one hundred per cent.”
Two men and a woman, all in their 30s, were later arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear. No injuries were reported.
A 36-year-old man has been charged with possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence and affray.
Another man and a woman, who are both in their 30s, have been bailed after being arrested in connection with the incident.
A 59-year-old man who lives on the street told us: “I heard a bang at around 1.15am and thought it was fireworks but soon realised it was gunshots. I didn’t get up, I just went back to sleep. I wasn’t scared at all. I don’t scare that easily.
But one mother, who did not want to be named for fear of repercussions, has a different view.
She said: “I am absolutely distraught, this is not what you expect on your own doorstep.
“It is so scary to think people have come into our street carrying weapons.
“People don’t seem to realise what’s happening here - that innocent people can get caught up in gun crime. Just look at the case in Liverpool where a nine-year-old girl was shot dead in her own home.”
Last year Oldham was highlighted as one of the UK's crime hotspots in a landmark report advising the Government on its levelling-up strategy.
A 2022 report estimated there were 176 organised crime groups (OCGs) operating across Greater Manchester, with almost a quarter of the gangs identified said to have access to guns. Drugs are said to remain the 'primary crime type' for the vast majority of the gangs.
Of the 176, 55 active organised crime groups are said to be 'impacting the city of Manchester' - accounting for 31 per cent of all known OCGs in the county.
Oldham and Salford have the second highest number of organised crime groups, with 19 and 18 respectively.
The sprawling reach of these criminal networks was illustrated in a crackdown late last year, which saw a Manchester gang jailed over a multi-million pound drugs ring supplying the entire North West.

In towns like this , the councillors are more interested in Gaza than local issues .
Its the same Gazans causing the issues
@@stamfordmeetupSyrians, Pakistani, afghani. Palestinians... Depends on the years they came, look how Hadids live. Their father ran from the country dozens of year ago. Same goes for Iran and Afghanistan. Those, who ran before islamic revolutions are very secular and well-educated.
It seems nothing is going to change
Rats and beavers
They're turning our country into gazza
Usual suspects
I don’t know WHAT you mean, sir! We’re not supposed to notice, remember?
Notice you NEVER EVER see a far left Liberal - lunatic commenting non these carryons
They are farting all over our wonderful country. Curry farts are not OK. But you we have to lap them down and cry about it. We are English men our peens are small!
Arm yourselves and act accordingly, the state has forgotten you but wants your taxes.
Well put.
Remember to act with love trust and respect.
They are us and we are them. One spirit one soul. It is from the same place that we came and to that same place we will go.
being armed makes you a target to
carry's years in jail
@a44489 no one cares they can't jail us all and the prisons we do have are full 😂
WRONG; the ENTIRE public is at risk with monsters like this around
Anyone still believe all of this has just happened through incompetence and accident?!
NO there is an Agenda behind all governments in power in the West, they are all corrupt, look at all the unrest here in Europe and America, all have been flooded by immigrants and the Governments have done nothing to stop it. Who knows what they are planning but its not going to be good for the rest of us
The English aren’t allowed guns but others are.
I was shot in England by a English person.....
@@mrmagoo.3678 criminals have guns as well a some demographics
Pardon? It is totally illegal to have an Unsilenced gun anywhere within a UK jurisdiction. It is a minimum five year sentence for each gun, even if you never fired it. Two guns = 10 years. If you haev used it, depending how, then that sentence can get another 5 or 10 years on top - so, what do you mean " English are not allowed guns" ? You can have a licenced gun but that is rare, usually farmers and hunting.
🙄...
@Ardwick-Crome lmao.. typical internet... I'm not gonna be all "You Gotta Believe Meeee!" to some nobody on UA-cam.. Believe what you want.. doesn't change the fact it Happened.
Local pride is gone, many towns like this regressing to a level akin to the Asian slums of India, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, I hope they are all happy now
😂😂 right what about the towns with English chavs selling?
I don't know about the other countries, but the slums here in India are not that dangerous, just poor.
I refuse to consider them as Asian.
@@airplanedude3103A rape occurs every minute in India.
u must not hv heard of Latvia then 😂
Absolutely shocking.
The filth on the pavements and streets.
This country’s in a mess.
The police are useless.
It can only get worse, gangs against gangs.
Shameful.
Multiculturalism is certainly eventful 🙄
Yeah there was famously no crime back in the day. Google the Kray Twins.
Here we go. 🙄Because gangs and gangland killings never occurred before these times ....right? 🤨
@PeterP.-xx5wi
Certainly not at the per Capita level we see to today and rising sharply.
Such a weak argument "oh crime has happened before, lets increase migration which always increases crime wherever in the world and make more crime to normalize it" 🙄
@@PeterP.-xx5wi Yeah maybe you should.... They wasn't terrorist's.
The people committing the crimes are not from this country, open borders are to blame all the criminals came over .
The blueprint for all Britain.
The whole world watch and learn
That and fat white women outside chip shops lovely country.
Deport.
One of the worst most depressing places in the uk
The whole of the UK is depressing not just Oldham.
Now ask yourself, why?
@@stevenhull5025just been to anglesey and its far from depressing. You need to get out of your hell hole
I'm so glad the UK government has allowed all these teachers,solicitors,doctors etc to come and stay in our country illegally,im so glad multiculturalism seems to be working great in the uk
And liebour want more Drs and Nurses from Palestine! Great 👏👏👏
Staring eyes, trash heaps, violence, no politeness, cold strangers.....I'm treated better abroad than in my country.
Council more interested in Gaza than the community.
Sadly true
the irony is if u cared about ur fellow israelis. wldnt u want them to return to germany? instead of sending them to the middle east. knowingly creating conflict 😂
Ok dude lol
Spot on.
Lack of political will + weak policing.
Yeah, sure. That.
an inviting the wrong people into your country
it's not the police it's the courts the police do there job with 1 hand tied behind there back there's not enough prisons which is why the country is in a massive mess
Foreigners. Foreigners. Foreigners.
I'm a foreigner and............. I agree with you 🤷🏾♂️
Not seen Liverpool or the North East of England knife and gun crime off the charts with whites, so your theory is BS
Most of english likes to be foreigners as well.. everywhere in the world😅😅
@@CristoB09 🤣
Exactly!
Importing crime
and the non imported crimes in Latvia? oh wait..
@@jgvjgvjyjgvjvjyvi5619where about in Britain is latvia?
I miss the old skool England
Big up to the old skool!
Proper old school. 70 s children,
It’s gone spoilt it
its never coming back
Oldham is very ENRICHED
Very sick ....alas
Yeah, with native English druggies.
As is Birmingham, Bradfud, Rotherham,,, etc etc... you get the jist
not a single ENGLISHMAN was harmed during this recording.
I didn't know Oldham's was in Pakistan
We aren’t supposed to notice, remember?
"problem with the community round here" wonder what that could be lol
You can bet your last pound that those convicted will get remarkably lenient sentences by the courts.
They've sucked these towns and cities dry - you need to invest in these places if you want improvements.
Invest in what? These people take, and don't give back, they have no ties, no loyalty or love for this country or their neighbours. Ask yourself this: What kind of soulless individual do you have to be to sell drugs to your fellow man or women? Diversity has never been a strength, this country gets worse every year, I am old enough to know we have lived through poverty before, and it's never been like this, the only thing that's changed is mass migration.
I never realized how really bad it is in England, omg.... its as trashy
as US.
I think you mean parts of Britain is trashy especially parts of Glasgow, Sunderland, Blackpool, Donny etc
@@theillestdrummer7822the whole of UK is going that way though tbh especially major cities.
civilization in a nutshell
It's worse because muslims have literally been given a free reign to do as they wish - no matter how criminal or evil . All in the name of multiculturism and anti - racism of course .
It's worse
5:00 Community police. Yea we know what he means
Not one of them was English
Not seen Liverpool or the North East of England then? knife and gun crime off the charts with the natives, so your theory is BS
@@nickfba One track mind and all that, and a sheep what do you expect
@@nickfba I've seen plenty of footage mate, majority from different backgrounds. There's a few natives, but mainly not natives. Why is this??? can you explain??? There's recorded data everywhere...
@@nickfba plus I bet even still more then half of the people committing violent crimes ain’t from this country
@@iGoldenBen once u went black u never came back 😂
The stand brought their beautiful culture with them to enrich Europeans
What the hell have the politicians done to this country ,I hope labour and tony blair are happy with there mess .

Welcome to UK’s Chicago.
Chicago is 50 percent white. You enjoy this.
Damn. What happened to England? 😢
Occupied by Islam unfortunately and forced multiculturalism
How culturally enriching
Diversity is our strength lo lolol
More like, our stench.
Not seen Liverpool or the North East of England then? knife and gun crime off the charts with English, so your theory is BS
That was an air gun but still it's very very depressing
You need a license for an air gun. Theoretically that is
No you don't.
@@barrylarryharry7183 You do if they are over a certain power, come under a firearms licence then.
@@SalvageMasterEssex yeah that's true. You'll need an FAC but these aren't too easy to get.
You don't need a licence for air guns. I'm pretty sure this was a top ejecting blank fire pistol based on the flame coming out the top.
Good thing only the bad guys have guns...
On top of that using force to defend yourself is illegal in the UK.
@@colincooper8727No it isn't.
@@colincooper8727 Incorrect.. "Appropriate" force.
They're not real firearms. The thumbnail clearly shows the gas port in the top of the barrel...... A blank firer
@@colincooper8727no it isn’t!
They just not turning up and shooting a random house , what was they slinging what business do they own .ffs
Welcome to 3rd world England ! mint init 😂
Countrys going to the dogs
You mean GONE to the dogs
@@stevenhull5025yep gone
Wow multicultural really is working 😆 lol
out on bail before you know it and most likely disappear
He calls it a "very close community"... yeah, arms length.
ATROCIOUS is the only word for it.
Loved when the councilman said "it's normal here" 😂
Good luck Britain getting your country back.
Islam the religion of peace . . . . . apparently
No religion is peaceful not even Buddhism - ask the Rohingya
@@stevenhull5025some are a lot less peaceful than others
The victim was a Muslim not the shooter u genius
This is what happens when good guys aren’t allowed to own firearms
Take your 2nd amendment and shove it
America - 40000 deaths
UK - 29 deaths
Yeah, giving people guns really solves the problem.
NRA nonsense.
40000 USA casualties with allowing firearms in 2023
29 UK casualties without allowing firearms in 2023.
Yeah buddy, you can keep them thanks.
We are allowed to get guns if we have a firearms license,we just can't walk round the streets with them in our pockets or keep a 50 cal in the kitchen
If police nipped the small crimes in the bud, they wouldn't turn into bigger crimes later
Unfortunately that's how we think it works. But prison is crim school. They come out hardened and educated to a further life of crime
Cuts to video of the corner shop, smoke alarm is cheeping away in the background....
It's sad & disgusting I'm from jersey channel Islands where it's beautiful, but due to corrupt authorities became to London, & what a dump it is, full of druggies ( & yes I've been their myself since COMMING here living rough). I've been moved into a flat by Greenwich council where I've been HARRASSED for four yrs by the man below me, had adsicta break into my flat..almost every time they go out my fkat is accessed . Not only don't I no what their doing in here but what they could be doing to my food , I've had severe Stomach pains & a friend of mine did after consuming milk. . The council are almost definitely behind it all - ought to ashamed of themselves ..
@sharonletchford9375 So sorry to hear you're going through this. My daughter worked in Jersey for a few years (2012-12017) and I loved it! I live in Oxford and although Oxford is still a great place to live, I was glad to get out of England to visit my daughter. I know about harrassment. I lived in a flat in Oxford years back, and was harrassed by my neighbour. Still, Oxford is a million times better than London. It's a pity you can't leave London and find somewhre like Oxford. I'd help you if I could. Is there a chance youcould go back to Jersey?
Depressing
If only the crime gangs would say hurty words the police would turn out in strength
Why dooes the councillor's not demand that his people get out of there im sure free houses and clean them ,start bringing bins away from front of homes clean up front back and side yards each, than at an alloted time ,get every available family , member out in green areas, footpaths and roads and clean and bin till everything picked up... This is where you live, its not a dump so don't treat it as one, have some pride
Looks like Kerala more than Oldham.
What is the common denominator???
I thought the people of Britain weren’t allowed to have guns??
evil criminal cabal . . order out of chaos and puppet governments and councils and sharia police . . . There's only one TRUTH fam the Lord Jesus Christ amen 🎚God bless you all 🎚love and peace 🎚
Looks like they do now 💁🏻
They have had armed units for over 30 years now. Theyre officers that are trained to specialize in firearms.
Like Canada, only gangs do
@@haliesalasi5867nice.... When seconds count armed response are about 15 minutes away
Alas ,Paradise lost ,Oxbridge the womb of our Traitors time for armed resistance .
What are we supposed to arm ourselves with against firearms???? Sticks and stones???
@@stevenhull5025well make spears twice as long as a man.... Hundreds of them.
When the town leader is mates with gang bosses, are you surprised what is happening. The place is rotten to the core with no powers to stop it.
Shopkeeper saying drugs keep going on meanwhile selling pipes and raw cones. must be for tobacco right?
because weed is what this is over lool use your noggin
@@joebloggs4925 Crack pipe.... No one smoking bowls or weed in a crack pipe...
use your noggin..
...It's our greatest strength!
That gun was a blank you cann see that gasses coming out the top of the slide threw a hole it cant shot real bullets
Did you miss the part with the bullet holes?
Fully enriched town.
Why hide his face , , let the world know who he is. , ,
Why do the government keep bringing these monsters to the UK ffs
This is what happens when the public arent allowed to carry in self-defence. You can ban as many weapons as you want but the criminals will always be able to get a hold of them so only the upstanding citizens are the ones who are put in danger. Almost like this was by design.
People screamed from the rooftops 10 years ago this would happen. Now it has , have fun laying in the bed you made.
Why are they blurring the faces? 🤔
Everything which is happening is all by design...!
Its so weird how this happened. 20 years ago nothing. I cant understand whats changed. A mystery we will never solve
The only surprise here is that this daily occurrence is not part of the mainstream news.
Who's that white man ? What's it got to do with him
could not believe it myself a white man in manchester nearly as bad as london 😁.
You can end this overnight when you end prohibition..the government's attitude is a big part of the problem in this
Some of us learn but this is now getting out of control and this is coming from someone who is very street-savvy I'm old-school and it worries me and it's going to get worse if left trust me I've not been wrong talking about all things happening in 20yrs needs to end ...GBYA.
I can imagine a vast majority of the weapons may be coming through on the boats.
its an air pistol you can buy them here legally muppet xD
Diversity is our strength
*Stench
And curry is your meal, be thankful you pick!
Breaking Bad is a tutorial, thank you merica
All members have access to guns
except those who stick to the law
@@stevenhull5025 wrong we can own guns,it's just most choose not to and we don't make it as easy as buying a bag of sweets like in America,we are not mental enough to think giving everyone guns somehow makes the country safer
This is no issue given the sheer coverage of facial recognition cameras, surveillance and soon to be digital ID.
lololo
Very dangerous crazy times & getting much worse!
Albert Tatlock must be turning in his grave with all this peaceful enrichment.
NO POLICE BUT MANY POLICE OUTSIDE NUMBER 10,
Charity starts at home and the police are always minutes away
Never ever consider visiting the uk anymore 😢
The Palestinian flag flying on a British street at the end, tells you all you need to know...
The gun in the 1st video was a blank firer. The other tiny pops you can hear are a pellet gun. Pretend gangsters
Most of those towns are Labour controlled and what is it that Labour had done for them? I'm not advocating Tories, LibDem or even Reform as alternatives but all the political parties are only interested in power not how to make lives pleasant, safe and meaningful for all the people. This is the tragedy. What our country needs is a revolution to complete change the status quo 😢
Albanian language?
no its Iranian
@@stamfordmeetup It's Pashto language of Pakistan/Afghanistan
Thanks
That moment when all if you are wrong and it is Romanian lol
What was he saying?@@vadimlozinschi8249
Where is all our money going? And all the little police stations gone, street sweepers, drain cleaners, oh and virtually no council workers it's all done by private companies that don't give a dam.😢
Need to stop leaving rubbish in the street!
That's why more and more aware : Brits , Dutch and Germans immigrates to beautiful Poland . They say enough !
The pistol at the beginning is a "top venting" 8mm blank firing pistol. Assuming you have a clean record anyone in England/Wales can purchase one and the blank rounds.
Look at the videos thumbnail, you see the powder flash vertically from the pistol.
Since you're already on UA-cam look up Retay Blank Firing Pistols and read up on the laws surrounding these pistols.
You can buy online and have them sent to your home providing you have ID showing your over 18 during a "face to face" delivery.
It's pretty shocking this is still aloud to happen but it's 100% legal! Wrap your mind around that little quirk amongst our strict firearm laws.
Deport NOW ffs
I live in Oldham. This is a rare event. The town is not being "ripped apart". It has its problems just like many similar towns in the region. They're old mill towns, and once the cotton industry went, these towns started to decline and have struggled ever since, for a number of reasons.
Imports
think its more to do with the imports
Likevyourself? @@CarlosGambino_22
..... & rape gangs .
It's a daily occurance. I lived in shaw and its an absolute dive
I could not understand the language the gunman were using ,
Was it from another country ? I think'n it may be ''so where are the guns and ammunition coming from '''?
They didn’t flee by the time you got out, you waited for them to leave before you went out….
It ain't called Gunchester for no reason!
Why does our Government allow it?
We have so much to thank the government for…
The pistol he was using was a blank firing replica as it had a blue slide, was it a blank firer or had it been modified
People should learn about pre charged pneumatic air rifles and how they work and how in many cases they are more powerful than someone equivalent powder burning fire arms, in countries that allow you to own one, in the UK it's legal to buy as many as you like as long as they are all shooting projectiles at a power level UNDER 12 f.p e ,
Rifles are set like that at the factory if they are sold in England and Wales ( Scotland has basically made it impossible for regular people to own any air rifle) learn how to look after your own rifles and how to keep the power levels where they need to be, in a zombie apocalypse scenario you could at least up the power and join in when it's time to destroy the zombies.
Palestinian flag up in the middle of the street. Explains it all
