Investigation underway following deliberate ignition of a vehicle in Hyde

Officers from our Tameside district are appealing for information after a vehicle was deliberately set on fire outside an address on Sergeant Mark Stansfield Way in Hyde. We were called at 11.45pm yesterday (29 June) to reports or a car which had been set on fire, officers attended the scene along with colleagues from Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service.

It is believed to be a targeted attack with no wider risk to the public, and investigations are ongoing. No arrests have been made at this stage.

Officers are now appealing to the public for their help as we continue to make enquiries into this incident. We are looking to speak to witnesses who may have seen or heard anything around the Sergeant Mark Stansfield Way area at the time the incident took place.

This appeal also includes any relevant CCTV or doorbell footage. Anyone with any information is asked to contact police on 101 or via LiveChat on gmp.police.uk, quoting log number 4273 of 29/06/2026.
