Greater Manchester Police have thanked residents who “expressed their views in a lawful manner” last night.
As a result of a proactive policing operation, officers were able to detain suspects with minimal disruption to the wider public.
Seven arrests were made overnight, all in connection with the disorder from last weekend.
A police spokesperson said: “Many have shown great defiance to disorder and intolerable behaviour, and we would like to reiterate our gratitude to the majority of our law-abiding residents, businesses, and visitors, for their support and determination to keep our communities safe.
“Whilst the evening (Wednesday) passed without significant disorder, we are not complacent, and we will continue our proactive approach to ensure anyone participating in criminal activity faces the full force of the law.
“We recognise that this is an uncertain time for all our communities, and we remain committed to working with you all to ensure disruption is kept to a minimum.
“Whilst we have seen an increase in misinformation being circulated online, attempting to fuel divisions, we are proud that our communities are standing against this and working with our officers on the ground. So many of our dedicated officers, staff and emergency service colleagues have deployed across the force, day and night, to make sure our communities are safe, and feel safe to have their voices heard.”
Since the increase in violent disorder across the country following the tragic events in Southport on Monday, July 29, police have utilised the entire force to support communities, including residents, businesses and faith leaders.
Members of the public should report any information circulating online about possible disorder to the police, so they can respond accordingly.
