Armed men with knives, sword overrun, rob English gas station
Raw video: Greater Manchester Police believe the large group of men caused multiple incidents of 'anti-social’ behavior on Halloween night.
Dozens of men on motorbikes can be seen storming a gas station in England in newly released surveillance footage of what authorities have described as a Halloween night rampage.
The Greater Manchester Police said in a news release the large group of men - some armed with knives and swords - is suspected of causing "numerous instances of anti-social behavior" in the Wythenshawe and Sale areas.
In images released by police, the men on motorbikes could be seen entering a gas station on Altrincham Road before some go inside the store and proceed to steal a number of items.

PC Gavin Jackson, of GMP’s City of Manchester division, said in a statement a "widespread disturbance" was reported across the areas of Wythenshawe and Sale between 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. on Halloween night, which "large amounts of distress to residents of those communities."

“We believe the men on bikes shown on the CCTV footage at the petrol station were the same group who were causing mass anti-social behavior elsewhere that night," Jackson said.
Some of the men seen that night were in possession of weapons that included knives and a sword, according to police.
“Due to the widespread instances of that night, we are confident that there are members of the public who will have seen this group or have dashcam footage through the night and we wish to hear from anyone who may have information," Jackson added
