Operation Frond
Officers from the Rochdale Division of Greater Manchester Police today launched a major crackdown, named Operation Frond, against drug crime in the town’s Middleton and Heywood areas with properties raided in the early hours.
Over 100 officers were involved in the raids and searches will continue for the rest of the day.
Superintendent Martin Greenhalgh for Rochdale Division, said: “This operation has taken months of intricate planning and dedication by a large team of officers.
“Communities have told us that they want drugs and drug dealing tackled across the borough and I hope that today’s action highlights how seriously we take these crimes.
“It also sends a message out that we will not let people profit from spreading their misery in our neighbourhoods and we will continue to use all the powers and resources available to put people before the courts.”
