Police have arrested a man in connection with an attempted robbery at Sainsbury's in Altrincham this morning.
We reported earlier today how there had been an attempted ram-raid at the Lloyd Street store.
Witnesses report seeing a number of youths in the car park at the time, with video showing a purple Nissan X-Trail reversed into the main entrance, colliding with a number of bollards and other obstacles in the process.
