Manhunt continues after house and car 'smashed up' by thugs while children screamed inside

A manhunt is continuing after a house and a car were 'smashed up' by a pair of thugs while terrified children were screaming inside.

The two suspects barged up to the property on Devonshire Road, in Atherton, on January 19, before attacking the car and living room window with golf clubs and sending glass shattering to the ground.

Dad Aarron Grundy, 27, was inside his home at the time with his two sons, aged five and 12 months, when horrific CCTV images showed the two individuals, wearing coats and hats, bashing holes into his car windscreen and putting through the windows of his home at around 12pm.

Greater Manchester Police has confirmed that enquiries are ongoing into the incident and that no arrests have yet been made in connection with the attack.

Just moments before the incident, dad-of-two Aarron had sat his youngest baby son in his high chair in the living room and began making his older child some food when he heard 'what sounded like gunshots'.

"I went in the kitchen and all of a sudden, I heard what sounded like gunshot noises," he previously told the M.E.N. "Then I heard this massive shatter. I ran into the living room, and my eldest was hysterical.

"I looked up and the front window had completely gone. I was trying to duck to get my 12-month-old, who was sat in his high chair, right in front of the window they had just smashed. At the time, what was going through my head was the worry that one of my children would be shot."

Aarron, whose eldest son has been left 'completely traumatised' by the incident, then called 999. His window was boarded up by the council that same day.

"There was glass everywhere. My five-year-old was running around screaming and didn't know what to do. He was screaming the place down.
