Oldham man faces firearms charge after November street shooting
Daniel Eastmond, 41, of Lime Green Road, Oldham, has been charged with possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life following a shooting incident on Crompton Street last month. The alleged firearms discharge occurred on Friday 15 November 2024, though no injuries were reported.
Eastmond has been remanded in custody and is scheduled to appear at Tameside Magistrates Court on Friday 20 December 2024. The charges stem from what police describe as a targeted incident that prompted a month-long investigation by the Serious Organised Crime Group.
Detective Inspector Richard Castley from the Serious Organised Crime Group said: “We have managed to secure a charge against a man for an incident that happened just over a month ago - our investigation has been meticulous and is still ongoing. Thanks to our proactive efforts, we are helping to prevent harm and protect our communities from further acts of violence. Although most firearm incidents are targeted and do not pose a broader risk to the public, we understand the fear and distress they cause in our communities.”
