Operation Rudow - Phase 2
More than ten people were arrested after officers carried out raids across North Manchester this morning (Thursday 9 February 2017).
Dawn raids took place at 15 properties in Newton Heath, Harpurhey, Moston, Salford and Failsworth as part of crackdown on organised crime.
Code-named Operation Rudow – the warrants formed part of a multi-agency operation to infiltrate and disrupt the supply of drugs in North Manchester.
It follows concerns raised to the police by the community and falls under Challenger Manchester team which is dedicated to targeting organised crime in Manchester
A total of 12 men were arrested on suspicion of a number of drug-related offences including suspicion of supplying Class A drugs.
It follows previous raids last week which means more than 30 properties have been searched in total as part of the operation.
Detective Inspector Paul Walker, of GMP’s Challenger Manchester Organised Crime Unit, said: “We are dedicated to dismantling crime groups who blight our communities and seek to make profits from putting drugs on our streets.
“These raids show how committed we are to tackling these groups and we will continue to root them out.
“Our work is only possible through support from partner agencies and the community who come forward and report information to us.
“Please continue to report anything suspicious and help us stop people who are benefitting from crime.
“We will continue to work tirelessly to make Greater Manchester a safer place to live.”
