Dawn raids saw seven people arrested as part of a crackdown on the supply of drugs in Bury.
This morning (Thursday 6 June 2019) a team of officers executed warrants at properties across five addresses in the Heywood and Bury areas.
The warrants were part of Operation Ballerina – set up by GMP to target those believed to be involved in the supply of Class A drugs across Bury.
Four men – aged 26, 65, 58, 22 and 34 – and one woman – aged 28 - have all been arrested on suspicion of supply of Class A drugs.
A 17-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of possession of Class B drugs.
Officers seized a substantial amount of class B drugs across the properties.
Superintendent Paul Walker, of GMP’s Bury district, said: “We absolutely do not tolerate the supply of drugs, and we will continue to take action if there is any suspicion of offences being committed in Greater Manchester.
“Thanks to the speedy actions of officers this morning, a significant amount of drugs destined for our streets have been seized.
“Operation Ballerina is very much ongoing, and we are continuing to crack down on the supply of drugs across Bury and the wider region.
"Our most powerful tool in the fight against drugs is the information we receive from the community. If you suspect drugs are being used or cultivated in your area, we urge you to get in touch with the police as soon as you can."
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 0161 856 9023, or anonymously via the independent charity Crimestoppers, on 0800 555 111.

Memphis, TN, August, 2019 – Operation “Bluff City Blues,” a two-week long joint federal, state and local law enforcement initiative has resulted in the arrests of 214 individuals in West Tennessee. Those arrested included 79 gang members, 65 individuals for aggravated assault, 34 individuals for homicide and 69 individuals for weapons offenses.
The United States Marshals led initiative brought together federal, state and local law enforcement partners to reduce crime in West Tennessee by identifying and arresting violent fugitives, targeting violent gang activity and collecting intelligence to allow for the systematic removal of individuals who have been charged with committing violent crimes.
In addition to the arrests, Operation Bluff City Blues resulted in the seizure of approximately 771.9 grams of marijuana, cocaine, heroin and crack, $17, 240 in cash, and 28 firearms as well as the recovery of 4 stolen vehicles. In addition, almost 30 registered sex offenders living in Madison and Shelby Counties were checked for compliance with sex offender registration requirements.
Since 2010, the USMS has led more than 70 counter-gang operations which have resulted in more than 8,000 arrests and the seizure of more than 1,800 illegal firearms. For the last 10 years, the overarching goal of the USMS nationwide Operation Triple Beam and Washout initiative has been to bring relief to the residents of communities by strategically and actively pursuing gang members and criminals most responsible for the worst crime and violence in those communities.

Three people have been arrested following dawn raids aimed at disrupting the supply of drugs and the criminal exploitation of vulnerable adults in Manchester.
Shortly after 6am this morning (Friday 15 March) officers executed search warrants at six addresses in the Beswick area of Manchester.
Three men, two aged 18 and one aged 22 were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply Class A drugs and engaging in human trafficking for the purpose of criminal exploitation.
The arrests were made as part of Operation Fosbury, an ongoing investigation being led by the City of Manchester Complex Safeguarding Hub into the exploitation of vulnerable adults and children within the Beswick area.
The new multi-agency team* which includes specialist detectives from GMP, has been established to combat the increasing risk of vulnerable people, particularly young people, being sexually and criminally exploited.
Detective Inspector Andy Buckthorpe from GMP’s Complex Safeguarding hub said: “Our aim is to target and disrupt those individuals who seek to exploit children and vulnerable adults and we will take every opportunity to target and prosecute offenders.
“This particular investigation focuses on helping vulnerable people who we believe have been exploited and forced to drug deals in other areas of the UK in what is widely known as ‘County Lines’ offending.
“As a result of the investigation, we have been able to identify a number of vulnerable people within the Manchester area who have been exploited in the most horrendous way by organised criminals and they will now receive bespoke multi-agency support.”
Criminal exploitation or ‘Trapped’ as it is referred to across Greater Manchester is a form of criminal exploitation that sees offenders use children or vulnerable people for the purposes of selling drugs.
They could be trafficked around the local area, or taken to areas with no obvious links or connections and this often involves the victim being subjected to deception, intimidation, violence, financial exploitation and grooming.
Are you being made to commit crime on behalf of someone else? Are you fearful for yourself or your family’s safety? Find out more at: www.programmechallenger.co.uk/Trapped
Anyone with concerns either about themselves or somebody else can contact the police via the LiveChat facility on the GMP website or 101 in a non-emergency situation.
You can also report details anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Always dial 999 when there is an emergency or an immediate threat to life.

Greater Manchester Police have today, Thursday 15 March 2012, made arrests following the murder of a man in Rochdale.
In the early hours of this morning 22 warrants were executed at addresses in Moston, Moss Side, Fallowfield, Davyhulme, Urmston, Newton Heath, Blackley, Harpurhey, Beswick, Bolton and Hyde.
Eight men aged between 20 and 30 were arrested on suspicion of murder and violent disorder.
At about 2.40am on Sunday 25 December 2011, police were called to Sinclair's Bar on Drake Street, Rochdale, following reports of a large disturbance.
Officers attended and discovered a man had been stabbed.
John Lee Barrett, 31, was taken to hospital but died, Tuesday 27 December 2011.
A post mortem examination concluded he died from a stab wound to the back.
It is also believed he had been hit over the head with a glass or bottle.
Chief Superintendent John O'Hare said: "By conducting this operation, we have sent out a firm message to those who think they can travel across Greater Manchester and commit crime in other areas that we will catch up with them.
"We have demonstrated that if you commit crime as part of a pack, you will be arrested and dealt with as a pack.
"I would also reassure residents within the local communities that there will be an extra police presence in their area and if anyone has any concerns, please speak to your local officer.
"We are working very hard to ensure their neighbourhoods are safer and we will not tolerate offenders who think they can get away with their actions and break the law."
Detective Chief Inspector Pete Jackson from the Major Incident Team said "The warrants have been part of a lengthy and complicated investigation.
Hours of CCTV have been studied and the club has been forensically examined by a team of highly experienced officers.
"However, despite these warrants, the investigation is still ongoing and we are still keen to hear from anyone who was at Sinclair's Bar on the night of the attack.
"We have interviewed a number of people who have helped us piece together what may have happened in the early hours of Christmas Day but I would still urge others who we haven't spoken with to get in touch - your information could be vital.
"I would urge anyone who may have information about what happened that night to contact police on 0161 856 3691 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111. The information you supply will be treated with the strictest of confidence."

Operation Florin targeted people suspected of mortgage fraud and money laundering in Rochdale.
These raids are the result of an intelligence-led operation, code named Operation Florin, aimed at people buying properties with false documents and money made from criminal activities.
Warrants were executed at addresses in the Milnrow and Cutgate areas just after 7am this morning, Wednesday 17 November 2010.
Two men and three women have been arrested on suspicion of fraud and money laundering.
Officers from the Rochdale division carried out the raids with the support of force resources such as Tactical Aid Units and those in custody will be interviewed by officers from the Pennine Neighbourhood Policing Team while the houses are searched.
Operation Florin was launched after officers found up to a quarter of a million pounds worth of cannabis during a raid at a house on Higher Calderbrook Road, Littleborough on 21 April 2010.
Officers then began an investigation into the ownership of that and other properties in Rochdale and Manchester.
Sergeant Karl Ward, from Pennine Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: "Today is the culmination of months of hard work by the NPT and our financial investigator and proves that when we find drugs, our work does not stop there.
"When we found the cannabis plants and stopped those drugs from getting on to the streets of Greater Manchester, it was a good result but we were not satisfied to let it rest there and decided to look at every aspect behind it such as the ownership of the house involved.
"We will always try to tackle drug dealers as they cause misery on a number of levels - to those using drugs, to the community that has to put up with the antisocial behaviour and intimidation that goes with it and those who suffer the burglaries and robberies that fund addictions.
"However, today shows that it can go much deeper. We are in a recession and honest residents are already struggling to make ends meet.
"Criminals who buy property with ill-gotten gains and false documents can affect house prices in the area and damage the firms they borrow from with their perilous financial position, only adding to the problems of law-abiding people who are already struggling."
The Pennine Neighbourhood Policing Team (Littleborough Lakeside, Wardle and West Littleborough, Smallbridge and Firgrove and Milnrow and Newhey) can be contacted on 0161 856 4556 / pennineparnership@gmp.police.uk
Anyone who is concerned about drug dealing and its associated criminal activity in their area should ring Greater Manchester Police on 0161 872 5050 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

Criminals travelling across the border between Greater Manchester and Cheshire were greeted with more than a surprise on Thursday 26 June 2014, as officers from Greater
Manchester Police and Cheshire Police and took part in Operation Crossbow.
The overall aim of the joint operation was to disrupt illegal activity between the two counties and deny criminals the use of the roads.
By using Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras officers were able to monitor virtually every vehicle that crossed between the two counties, stopping all vehicles that were on the roads illegally or were linked to criminal activity.
Cheshire Police Assistant Chief Constable Mark Roberts said: "We know that criminals don′t simply stop when they reach the border, and we also know that there is as strong link between illegal vehicles and other types of serious crime.
"Uninsured drivers are more likely to commit other offences and many of their vehicles are unroadworthy and pose as real danger to other road users.
"Using technology, such as ANPR cameras, we are able to use the intelligence available to us to identify offenders and bring them to justice."
Greater Manchester Police Inspector Matt Bailey-Smith said: "We will not allow the safety of our roads to be compromised by criminals and operations like today will help us achieve our overall aim of keeping criminals off our roads.
"However, offenders across Cheshire and Greater Manchester can be assured that this is not a one-off operation. Our officers patrol the roads 365 days a year and will continue to target criminals."
Operation Crossbow involved more than 200 officers from Cheshire Police and GMP, as well as staff from partner agencies such as the UK Border Agency, Department of Work and Pensions, Her Majesties Revenue and Customs and the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency.
ANPR cameras are able to monitor more than 3000 number plates every hour and alert officers if a vehicle is linked to known criminals. The cameras also inform officers whether or not the vehicle is taxed & insured.
Both Greater Manchester Police and Cheshire Police and are keen to remind members of the public that they too can help make our roads safer by reporting illegal use of vehicles to the police on 101. Alternatively information can be reported anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Twelve people have been arrested by Greater Manchester Police this morning (28/3/12) following drugs raids across Leigh.
The conducted raids on 13 homes of those suspected of drug dealing in the area.
More than 80 officers were involved in the strikes, which took place at just after 6am, including specialist officers from GMP’s tactical aid unit, as well as divisional and neighbourhood officers.
Ten men and two women have been arrested for a variety of offences including possession of class A and class B drugs with intent to supply.
Search warrants issued under the Misuse of Drugs Act were executed and items of evidence were recovered including class A drugs and drugs paraphernalia.
Over the past few months, officers have been acting on intelligence and building evidence against those who are suspected of street drug dealing, culminating in today’s warrants.
Detective Chief Inspector Howard Millington from Wigan CID said: “Cracking down on drugs in our communities is a big priority for GMP and I hope today shows the people of Leigh just how seriously we are committed to this cause.
“Drugs are a major driving force behind many other crimes such as burglary, robbery and vehicle crime, and that is why we are determined to root out all those involved in this trade.
"Today’s strikes have taken months in the planning and will have caused significant disruption to the users and suppliers of illegal drugs in this area. With the public’s help, this work will continue.
“Let today be a warning to anyone involved in drugs activity that not only will they end up behind bars, but through Proceeds of Crime Act legislation, they will also end up out of pocket."
Leaflets are being distributed to residents in areas where raids have taken place to update them with today’s activity and extra officers will be on patrol to provide reassurance to the community.
If anyone has any information on those involved in the sale and supply of drugs in their area, locations where drug dealing is taking place, or those who they believe may be using drugs, please contact the police so something can be done about it.
Information can be passed on to police directly by calling the new non-emergency number, 101, or by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

Six men have been arrested after raids this morning in Bury and Tameside.
Today (Tuesday 17 October 2017) GMP officers searched a number of properties in Bury, Tameside and Cheetham Hill as part of an investigation into the unlawful sale of medicine and controlled drugs online.
Code-named Operation Pyarr, several million pounds worth of pharmaceutical drugs have been seized in today’s investigation into the multi-million pound international fraud operation.
The investigation has been carried out by the Medicine and Healthcare products Regulatory Authority who are responsible for ensuring that medicines and medical devices are acceptably safe, in conjunction with Bury Police and the Police Service of Northern Ireland.
A total of six men were arrested on suspicion of supplying Class C drugs and remain in police custody for questioning.
Detective Chief Inspector Charlotte Cadden of GMP’s Bury Borough, said: “We have spent the past few months identifying where the public are able to get hold of these controlled drugs, and uncovering who is responsible.
“From our investigation, it is clear that this is a comprehensive operation, with genuine pharmaceuticals being unlawfully removed from the supply chain in the UK and then sold, illegally, online.
“While we have made arrests, we are continuing with our investigation and are committed to finding those who facilitate the supply of illegal substances in Greater Manchester.
“I’m asking for the public to continue to report anything suspicious to the police, and ensure that we can look after the public who are taken in by drugs that they believe are legal.”
