“We targeted those involved in the supply of Class A drugs and managed to recover thousands of pounds worth of what we believe is cocaine and ecstasy, which was destined for the streets of Manchester.
“These warrants couldn’t have been done without the help from the community. You gave us the intelligence we needed to get the drugs and the people who supply them off the streets.
“We will continue to work with our partners and the local communities to keep our streets safe and bring those who bring crime to our doorsteps to justice.”
