Police in Bury have arrested nine people following drugs warrants in the east area of the town this morning (13/6/12).
Dozens of officers were involved in the raids, including specialist officers from GMP’s tactical aid and dogs units, as well as divisional and neighbourhood officers.
The raids were watched by several members of the community and councillors, who were invited along so they could witness first-hand how police are putting a stop to drugs activity in their neighbourhood.
Drugs workers were also available throughout the day to offer services to any prisoners that currently use drugs and who may want help to stop.
The warrants were carried out following months of intelligence gathering, after officers received reports of drug dealing in and around the Manchester Road Park area.
Chief Superintendent Jon Rush, divisional commander at Bury said: “Today’s arrests are just the start of a new ongoing operation to tackle the sale and supply of drugs across our borough.
“Drugs are a major driving force behind many other crimes such as burglary, robbery and vehicle crime, and that is why cracking down on those involved in this industry is a big priority for police in Bury.
"Today’s strikes have taken weeks of planning and will have caused significant disruption to the users and suppliers of illegal drugs in Bury.
With the public’s help, this work will continue.
“Let today be a warning to anyone involved in drug dealing in Bury that not only will you end up behind bars, but through Proceeds of Crime Act legislation, you will also end up out of pocket."
Anyone with information about those involved in drug-related activity in their area should call police at Bury, in confidence if needed, on 101 or contact Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111. Crimestoppers is an independent charity who will not want your name, just your information. Your call will not be traced or recorded and you do not have to go to court or give a statement.

Greater Manchester Police’s Oldham Division have today (30/3/11) conducted a major operation to target drug dealing in Oldham.
Officers from Oldham's neighbourhood policing teams launched the operation, codenamed Operation Rescind, as their response to concerns the community had that drug dealing was a problem and, in turn, increasing crime and antisocial behaviour in the area.
The raids come after three months of investigations by officers from the Oldham division and Serious Crime Division into the distribution of heroin and crack cocaine.
More than 100 officers were involved in the raids and included officers from the neighbourhood policing teams, Serious Crime Division, tactical aid units and dog handlers.
Extra officers from the Oldham West Neighbourhood Policing Team will be patrolling the area for today and the next few days to provide a visible presence and reassurance to the community.
Chief Superintendent Tim Forber, from Greater Manchester Police's Oldham Division, said: "Residents spoke to us and voiced their concerns that class A drug dealing was causing them a problem so we have responded robustly to combat this.
"Drugs wreck lives and the crime associated with them causes misery to the whole community - so we do everything possible to find out who is responsible and put them before the courts.
"These arrests are the culmination of hundreds of hours of work by officers and we have used divisional and force resources to gather the intelligence we needed to take this action. It is not a quick process and we thank the community for their patience while we have been building the strongest case possible."
Anyone with concerns about drug dealing in their community is asked to call officers on 0161 872 5050 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

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.

RICHMOND, Virginia – A weeklong, large-scale gang enforcement operation, labeled “Operation Washout” wrapped up on May 24, resulting in 90 arrests of alleged violent offenders and fugitives.
The U.S. Marshals Service led multiple federal, state and local law enforcement agencies working around the clock May 20-24, concentrating their efforts primarily on known gang members wanted in the Richmond and Tri-Cities areas. Of the 90 arrests, 22 were documented gang members. Many other arrests were of suspected gang members or associates. Additional state and federal prosecutions are pending on those arrested where drug, gun or other crime evidence was seized during or subsequent to the person’s arrest.
The U.S. Marshals Service’s national fugitive initiative known as Operation Washout is deployed to local communities to bring immediate relief from violent, gang-related crime. The collaborative law enforcement effort is focused on targeting and arresting violent fugitives wanted for high-profile crimes such as homicide, felony assault and sexual assault, illegal possession of firearms, illegal drug distribution, robbery and arson.

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.

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.

IDF Caterpillar D9 "Doobi" armored bulldozer
דחפור משוריין די-9 "דובי" של צה"ל
IDF Caterpillar D9 armored bulldozer (nicknamed "Doobi", which is teddybear in Hebrew) of Israel's Combat Engineering Corps.
Used by the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) Combat Engineering corps the Caterpillar D9 armored bulldozer is a versitile, dependable, durable ans well-protected platform. Used in combat and in counter-terrorism operations, the D9 is cited by military experts as a key factor in keeping IDF casualties low in the war against Palestinian terrorism.
This specific model shown here is the CAT D9R up-armored with ballistic plates coat, reinforced ballistic bulletproof glass and slat armor (also known as cage armor or bar armor). The Israeli armor kit proved itself effective against terrorists and anti-tank weapons. The D9 withstood IED belly charges of 200 kg and 500 kg (more than 5 times the mass of high explosives needed to destroy a main battle tank).
In the skilled hand of the Israeli Combat Engineering Corps the D9 became the nightmare of terrorists and a key factor in keeping IDF casualties low.

Greater Manchester Police stopped 627 vehicles in a day of action targeting criminals using the roads and motorway networks across the county.
Yesterday (Wednesday 4 July) more than 160 specialist operations and divisional police officers and 42 Specials Constables were involved in a crackdown conducting roadside checks at numerous sites across the force area.
As a result of the operation 23 arrests were made for offences including burglary, theft of motor vehicle, metal theft and drugs offences.
Also as part of the operation, 49 cars that were being driven without insurance or road tax were seized. A total of 290 fixed penalty notices were issued together with 269 drivers receiving advice for various road traffic offences.
During the operation Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras were used to detect vehicles being driven illegally or having a connection with criminal activity. These cameras are used to scan vehicle registrations as they drive past and police are automatically alerted if the vehicle is linked to intelligence on known criminals.
Superintendent Craig Thompson, from GMP’s Specialist Operations Branch, said: “The operation was geared to disrupting the illegal activities of criminals using the roads in Greater Manchester.
“Criminals tend not to be over concerned about ensuring their vehicles are insured and taxed. Many are also unroadworthy and pose a real danger to other road users.
“By targeting them in this way we are able to get them off the roads, make our highways safer for everyone and harder for offenders to commit crime.
“Criminals can be assured that this is not just a one-off operation. We have patrols on the roads 365 days of the year and will continue to target criminals in this way. We are determined not to allow people to drive untaxed, uninsured cars on our roads.”
“Law-abiding citizens can help us keep criminals off our roads by reporting illegal use of vehicles to us directly on 101, the new national non-emergency number, or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Crimestoppers is an independent charity that will not want your name, just your information. Your call will not be traced or recorded and you do not have to go to court or give a statement.”
