PCC condemns attack on Manchester synagogue

Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Commissioner Gary Godden has condemned the attack at a synagogue in Manchester on the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur.

“My thoughts are with the families who have lost loved ones, those who were injured and the wider community who have been shocked by this appalling incident,” he said.

“I have spoken to Nottinghamshire Police who are doing all they can to keep all of our communities safe, including providing support and reassurance to our Jewish communities.”
