A further seven people have been arrested in raids as part of an operation to target drug dealing in Oldham.

 

They were arrested when officers from Greater Manchester Police raided five addresses just after 6am today, Tuesday 7 February 2012.

 

Officers from Oldham's neighbourhood policing teams launched the operation, codenamed Operation Rescind V, 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 follow on from Operation Rescind I, Operation Rescind II, Operation Rescind III and Operation rescind IV where officers raided 16 addresses in March 2011, 15 addresses in July 2011, seven addresses in November 2011 and 9 addresses in January 2012, to date 60 people have been arrested for drugs offences.

 

These arrests came after months of investigations by officers from the Oldham division and Serious Crime Division into the distribution of heroin and crack cocaine.

 

In the latest raids this morning, five men and two women were arrested on suspicion of drugs offences, including possession with intent to supply class A drugs, after officers executed warrants across the Oldham area.

Properties were raided in the, Chadderton and Failsworth areas of Oldham.

 

More than 100 officers were involved in the raids and included officers from the neighbourhood policing teams, Serious Crime Division, tactical aid units, dog handlers and officers from the Department of Working Pensions.

 

Extra officers from Oldham's Neighbourhood Policing Teams will be patrolling the area for today and the next few days to provide a visible presence and reassurance to the community. Oldham drugs intervention team and First Choice homes will be involved in the operation to offer support.

 

Superintendent Catherine Hankinson, from Greater Manchester Police's Oldham Division, said: "Today shows that the desire to rid our communities of the blight of drugs is continuous and we will go back and keep tackling the issue in the same area as many times as necessary until the problem is dealt with.

 

"Residents told us that class A drug dealing was a worry to them 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 our counterparts at the Crown Prosecution Service. 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."

Dawn raids saw 5 people arrested as part of a crackdown on an organised crime group operating across several areas in England.

 

This morning (Thursday 16 May 2019) a team of officers executed warrants at 7 addresses in Oldham.

 

The warrants were executed as part of Operation Hansford – set up by GMP officers to target an organised crime group believed to be involved in crimes committed across England, spanning several force areas- including Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Lancashire.

 

As part of Operation Hansford detectives have investigated 120 offences including aggravated burglary, robbery, car theft, assault, violent disorder and criminal damage – all believed to be orchestrated by the same organised crime group.

  

Chief Superintendent Neil Evans, GMP’s Territorial Commander with responsibility for Oldham said: “Today we have 5 people in custody and that is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the team here in Oldham, who have worked tirelessly in order to disrupt this organised crime group.

 

“Today’s action has been supported from officers across GMP; however I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our colleagues from West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Lancashire – all of whom have supported this investigation from the very outset.

 

“The importance of our investigation and the severity of the crimes committed should not be underestimated. Organised criminal activity destroys people’s livelihoods and blights communities. I hope that today’s action demonstrates to those who have been affected by such criminality just how dedicated we are in bringing those responsible to justice, as well as our absolute commitment to making the streets of Greater Manchester a safer place.

 

“I would also like to emphasise that Operation Hansford remains very much ongoing.”

Police have launched a crackdown on fraudsters and their ‘money mules’ who have moved £4.1million of illicit cash through bank accounts in Greater Manchester in just five months.

 

Offenders launder cash acquired through fraud, deception and theft through the accounts of others in order to ensure there is no connection between them and the initial crime, which has often seen them con innocent people into handing over large amounts of cash.

 

Today, officers executed warrants at addresses across North Manchester targeting a group who received over £75,000 from victims who were scammed into paying money into an account by someone claiming to be a County Court bailiff.

 

The action forms part of a three-month operation – codenamed Ranger – which has seen 14 people arrested and 14 warrants executed so far.

 

Money mules are recruited by fraudsters to take funds into their bank account for a fee before it is then transferred or withdrawn.

 

They are the first people to handle the cash and play a key role in every fraud - without them the money could not be transferred from the victim and released to offenders as profit, or to fund further criminal activity.

 

Detective Inspector Martin Hopkinson said: “These fraudsters prey on the vulnerable twice - first through conning the money from trusting individuals and then again by filtering those ill-gotten gains through numerous bank accounts.

 

"Pursuing the bank account owners - the money mules themselves - allows us to streamline investigations, increase the amount of cases we can investigate and bring more offenders to justice.

 

“We believe that by reaching the account holders, we reduce the access points for fraudsters - creating a hostile environment in which to operate and stopping illegitimate cash getting into the hands of criminals.

 

“These underhand tactics will not be tolerated. The illegal funds finance more serious and violent crime which can destroy communities.

 

“We urge people who are approached to consider their actions before taking part in such a deal. There's no such thing as easy money, and a criminal record is the only thing you'll gain from it."

 

Between October 2015 and February 2016, GMP recorded 1,475 fraud crimes, of which 490 (33%) were solely in relation to money mules, amounting to £4.1million of fraudulently obtained funds.

 

During 2014/15 GMP recorded over 4,600 fraud related crimes and it is anticipated that this figure will rise to over 5,500 during the year 2015/16.

 

A typical fraud investigation can take in the region of 12 to 15 months to complete, targeting the initial fraud offence and following the stolen funds through a complex web of transfers, each representing a money laundering offence.

 

If you suspect fraud is being committed in your area call Greater Manchester Police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Dawn raids saw six people arrested by police as part of an investigation into gas explosion cash machine attacks.

 

A further person was arrested for unrelated drug offences.

 

This morning (Wednesday 26 June 2019) officers executed warrants at nine addresses as part of Operation Benson – launched in response to incidents involving the theft of money from ATMs.

 

Warrants were executed by GMP at Oldham Road, Uxbridge Street and Garden Walk in Ashton-under-Lyne, as well as on Robinson Street, Caroline Street and Handley Close in Stockport.

 

The action was supported by the North West Regional Organised Crime Unit – Disruption Team.

 

Further warrants were executed on Woodlands Close, Tintwistle and Lea Fold, Solihull by Derbyshire Police and West Midlands Police respectively on behalf of GMP.

 

Police arrested:-

 

A 30-year-old man for conspiracy to cause an explosion likely to endanger life and conspiracy to burgle.

 

A 34-year-old man for conspiracy to cause an explosion likely to endanger life and conspiracy to burgle.

 

A 30-year-old man for conspiracy to cause an explosion likely to endanger life and conspiracy to burgle.

 

A 28-year-old man for conspiracy to cause an explosion likely to endanger life and conspiracy to burgle.

 

A 30-year-old woman for conspiracy to burgle and money laundering.

 

A 33-year-old woman for conspiracy to burgle.

 

A 28-year-old man for possession of Class B drugs with intent to supply.

 

Detective Sergeant Phil Kennedy said: “Thanks to the excellent work of our officers; colleagues within other force areas and SaferCash partners, we have been able to bring six people into custody this morning.

 

“Additionally, we have a further person in custody for drugs offences.

 

“These raids came as the result of extensive intelligence gathering and show our determination in dismantling organised crime networks who commit these kinds of crimes.

 

“Today’s operation is a response to various types of ATM attacks– including those which use gas explosions to access monies, endangering the lives of anyone caught nearby.

 

“While the vast majority of people in Greater Manchester work hard for their rewards in life, a small minority think it acceptable to try and shortcut their way via acts of criminality.

 

“We will do everything in our power to catch and prosecute organised criminals whose offending blights our communities.

 

“If you believe someone to be involved in criminality, contact police immediately. Your actions will help prevent innocent people becoming the victims of crime.”

 

Anyone with information should contact police on 101 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

 

Eighteen suspects were arrested, cash, drugs and vehicles were seized, and over 100 motorists were summonsed for driving offences as part of our blitz on crime across the city of Salford on Tuesday 26 October 2021.

 

The action was part of our new force-wide initiative - codenamed Operation AVRO - which will run each month in a different district, and began this October in Salford.

 

Over 200 officers were involved in the operation - maximising resources from across our districts and specialist units - and flooded the city with a surge of activity, including warrants, arrests, community engagement, traffic enforcement, and crime-prevention advice.

 

The day was bookended with two public street briefings; one of which was led by Chief Constable Stephen Watson in Walkden town centre - moments after a shoplifting suspect was arrested in a nearby superstore - before over 30 neighbourhood officers embarked on anti-social behaviour patrols in the area.

 

A total of 13 warrants were executed during the day which saw 18 people arrested - including a teenager found in his attic in possession of four stolen phones and car keys believed to have been stolen overnight in Pendleton.

 

One of the more unique arrests was in Weaste alongside partners in the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) as a man was taken to custody to be questioned for the illegal trade of birds; over 20 exotic birds were taken to safety by RSPCA officers who later questioned the suspect.

 

Our traffic cops underwent a day of intensified traffic enforcement on A57 Regent Road which resulted in 19 uninsured vehicles seized, 104 motorists reported for traffic offences, and 10 unsafe vehicles prohibited from the road.

 

Community officers dropped leaflets through the doors of hundreds of local residents to let them know about the AVRO activity taking place through the day, and councillors and other local community members joined our local patrols in engaging with the public and discussing ways of tackling crime.

 

Multi-agency visits to 26 addresses took place through the afternoon with Salford City council where officers from our Salford Connect safeguarding team spoke to a number of suspected victims of 'cuckooing' where criminals target and criminally exploit vulnerable adults.

 

The day's action has been pledged to be more than a one-off; instead an exemplification of the new era GMP has launched itself into, where more criminals are arrested, more assets are seized, and more police are in our neighbourhoods.

 

Assistant Chief Constable Scott Green, GMP's joint-lead on local policing, said: "I hope that yesterday was a reminder to all of our communities that GMP is very much here and able to show a really visible presence on our streets.

 

"It has served as a reminder to the criminals that are causing harm to our communities, to families, that GMP is on its front foot and we will - based on intelligence - conduct enforcement activity.

 

"This is what a new and resurgent GMP looks like and we have shown - and are committed to continuing to show - that we are really capable of putting on these key enforcement activities.

 

"GMP is a big team and we should have our head held high. We should be out there, engaging with the public, conducting enforcement and reminding the criminals that are causing harm that this is what we're here to do.

 

"This is the start of a new era of policing in Greater Manchester and the people of Salford experienced just the start of this yesterday; we hope communities in the city should start to feel closer to their neighbourhood teams and reporting the issues that matter to them.

 

"For the rest of the region: Operation AVRO will be coming to a town near you soon where you can expect to see something just as big, if not bigger. This will only enhance - not detract - from our day-to-day work as we pledge to bring more criminals to book and make our streets a safer place."

 

Praising GMP's Operation AVRO, Salford City Mayor Paul Dennett said: “Yesterday was a successful operation with drugs, cash and stolen property recovered from warrants and uninsured drivers caught on the roads.

 

"I’d like to thank local people for their support. Their information is vital so that the enforcement agencies can take action. I’d encourage anybody with information that may be useful to authorities to make contact."

Operation Buzz Drone has been shelved.

The super secret program that mounted high resolution miniature spy cameras on bees was finally discontinued after it became clear that bees rarely cooperate when directed towards strategic targets.

An unidentified Pentagon source added, "Just how many flower photos do we really need?", noting that the 500 billion dollar project had originally held great promise as a surveillance tool.

"The savings achieved by dumping this program will now be wasted on another secret program", said the spokesman on the condition that he not be identified.

Today, Thursday 9 November 2017, saw Greater Manchester Police execute warrants at addresses across the Moss Side and Hulme areas of Manchester.

 

The warrants, which were supported by the Immigration Service, were executed as part of Operation Malham targeting the supply of drugs in South Manchester.

  

Detective Chief Inspector Paul Walker, of GMP’s City of Manchester team, said: "Over the past 6 months we have had a dedicated team of detectives trawling through community concerns and information about drug supply in the Moss Side and Hulme areas.

 

“Today, we have made arrests after executing warrants across these areas and I would like to thank the community for working with us, as well as partners, and making this possible.

 

“Please continue to report anything suspicious to help us stop the criminals benefiting from drug supply and organised crime.

 

“Drugs never be tolerated by us and we are determined to bring those responsible to justice.”

Greater Manchester Police have today, Monday 19th of September, carried out a series of raids as part of Operation Azuma, a police investigation into burglaries in Oldham, Rochdale, Tameside, Stockport and North Manchester.

 

The operation, which began with a large-scale briefing, saw officers visiting addresses in the early hours of the morning.

 

So far, 16 people have been arrested for a variety of suspected offences, including firearms offences, burglary, handling stolen property, conspiracy to commit burglary, theft of motor vehicles, possession of Class A and B drugs with intent to supply and cultivating cannabis.

 

During the searches, officers recovered up to £150,000 worth of stolen cars taken during burglaries, a pistol and ammunition, Class A and B drugs, a cannabis farm and stolen property, some of which is suspected to have been taken during the disorder in Greater Manchester last month.

 

North Manchester Divisional Commander, Chief Superintendent Russ Jackson said: “This operation is an example of our continued fight to reduce burglary right across Greater Manchester.

 

“Burglars who target people’s homes remain very much at the top of our list of priorities, as we see first-hand the untold misery and distress they cause. We are intent on finding all of those who are committing burglary and hopefully the arrests made today, will have an impact on the amount of burglaries taking place across Greater Manchester.

 

“This is only the first wave of raids, and those involved in burglary or trading stolen goods should beware, because the next door we come through may be yours.”

  

"We will continue to listen to and support our local residents and will aim to keep people informed of the work we are doing where they live. Members of the community can also contact their neighbourhood policing teams by phone, email or by arranging to visit their local officers.”

 

Anyone with information about burglary should call their local neighbourhood policing team or call the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Today (Thursday 20 2017) GMP and Derbyshire officers searched five homes in Brinnington and Reddish as part of a crackdown on burglaries in the borough.

 

Code-named Operation Stymie, the warrants formed part of an ongoing investigation into more than 50 burglaries across Stockport and Derbyshire including Marple, Bramhall and Glossop.

 

It is estimated in excess of £500,000 worth of property, particularly high value cars, has been stolen in the past six months.

 

The investigation has been carried out by Challenger officers who are dedicated to targeting organised crime in Greater Manchester.

 

Detective Inspector Chris Flint, of GMP’s Stockport Borough, said: “Over the past six months we have had a dedicated team trawling through intelligence and information about burglaries in Stockport, working hard to catch the culprits.

 

“Residents were concerned and we understand that crimes like this are an invasion in to your private life and can make people feel scared in their home.

 

“I want to stress that it is not okay and will never be tolerated by us. I hope people see we listened to those concerns and have acted on them.

 

“This investigation does not stop here and we will continue to tackle groups who cause misery to innocent people.

 

“Please continue to report anything suspicious and help us stop people who are benefitting from crime.”

Dawn raids saw 5 people arrested as part of a crackdown on an organised crime group operating across several areas in England.

 

This morning (Thursday 16 May 2019) a team of officers executed warrants at 7 addresses in Oldham.

 

The warrants were executed as part of Operation Hansford – set up by GMP officers to target an organised crime group believed to be involved in crimes committed across England, spanning several force areas- including Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Lancashire.

 

As part of Operation Hansford detectives have investigated 120 offences including aggravated burglary, robbery, car theft, assault, violent disorder and criminal damage – all believed to be orchestrated by the same organised crime group.

  

Chief Superintendent Neil Evans, GMP’s Territorial Commander with responsibility for Oldham said: “Today we have 5 people in custody and that is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the team here in Oldham, who have worked tirelessly in order to disrupt this organised crime group.

 

“Today’s action has been supported from officers across GMP; however I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our colleagues from West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Lancashire – all of whom have supported this investigation from the very outset.

 

“The importance of our investigation and the severity of the crimes committed should not be underestimated. Organised criminal activity destroys people’s livelihoods and blights communities.

TweThirty three (33) people have so far today, Wednesday 28 January 2015, been arrested following a huge crackdown on the supply of drugs across Greater Manchester.

 

Officers have executed warrants at 53 addresses across the region this morning as part of Operation Trafalgar, a pre-planned operation.

 

Police have also seized an imitation firearm, a quantity of heroin, several thousands of pounds of cash, three cars and discovered two cannabis farms.

 

Specialist officers from GMP’s Tactical Aid Unit teamed up with detectives and neighbourhood officers on each of Greater Manchester’s 11 divisions.

 

Superintendent Craig Thompson from the Specialist Operations Branch said: “Today’s operation sends a clear message to drug dealers that we will take robust action to disrupt their activity and put them in front of the courts.

 

“Drug dealers have no respect for local communities and we will not stand by and allow them to cause misery in order to fuel their own dishonest and antisocial lifestyles.

 

“Tackling drug-related crime is daily business and officers are out there every single day of the year hunting those responsible for bringing drugs into our communities.

 

“Help us weed out these individuals and put them behind bars where they deserve to be by calling the police or Crimestoppers anonymously.”

Officers from GMP’s Rochdale district have this week launched a month-long operation aimed at ensuring that those who visit Rochdale, Middleton and Heywood town centres during the festive period can do so safely.

 

In preparation for the increased footfall that the three town centres experience as people are out Christmas shopping, or enjoying the night-time economy, Operation Elf was launched on Wednesday 1 December 2021. The operation will see an increase in high-visibility officers in hotspot locations to deter criminal activity and provide reassurance to residents. There will also be plain clothes officers who will be actively targeting opportunistic offenders.

 

GMP will be supported by a range of local partners throughout the operation such as the Council, Street Pastors and local business, in order to maximise the opportunity to prevent crime, by sharing intelligence. This will include working with CCTV operators and security staff to identify and catch offenders.

 

Sergeant Danny Shirazi from GMP’s Rochdale district, said: “We want people to feel safe visiting our local town centres whatever time of year they visit, and Operation Elf helps us do this by ensuring we have a higher number of officers patrolling at we know to be a busy time of year.

 

“I hope that our local residents feel reassured by the presence of our officers and that them and any would-be offenders understand that we will not tolerate any type of criminality in the Rochdale district.

 

“As people flock to centre, I would ask them to help us keep them safe, by following simple steps such as keeping valuables out of easy reach, staying vigilant when using cash machines and not leaving your newly purchased items on show in your car.

 

“On behalf of everyone at GMP Rochdale, have a wonderful and safe Christmas and New Year.”

 

Councillor Sue Smith, the council’s cabinet member for communities and cooperation, said: “We are really pleased that the Community Safety team at Rochdale borough council has partnered with Greater Manchester Police, Rochdale district to help make this operation happen.

 

“We have provided personal and property crime prevention products such as light timers, purse bells, torches and personal attack alarms for the Operation Elf launch, with the hope that it will help deter criminal activity and make people feel safer. We want everyone to have a lovely and safe Christmas.”

 

You can report crime online at www.gmp.police.uk. If it is an emergency dial 999, or 101 if it is a less urgent matter. Alternatively, if you wish to remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Today (Thursday 20 2017) GMP and Derbyshire officers searched five homes in Brinnington and Reddish as part of a crackdown on burglaries in the borough.

 

Code-named Operation Stymie, the warrants formed part of an ongoing investigation into more than 50 burglaries across Stockport and Derbyshire including Marple, Bramhall and Glossop.

 

It is estimated in excess of £500,000 worth of property, particularly high value cars, has been stolen in the past six months.

 

The investigation has been carried out by Challenger officers who are dedicated to targeting organised crime in Greater Manchester.

 

Detective Inspector Chris Flint, of GMP’s Stockport Borough, said: “Over the past six months we have had a dedicated team trawling through intelligence and information about burglaries in Stockport, working hard to catch the culprits.

 

“Residents were concerned and we understand that crimes like this are an invasion in to your private life and can make people feel scared in their home.

 

“I want to stress that it is not okay and will never be tolerated by us. I hope people see we listened to those concerns and have acted on them.

 

“This investigation does not stop here and we will continue to tackle groups who cause misery to innocent people.

 

“Please continue to report anything suspicious and help us stop people who are benefitting from crime.”

Five people have been arrested in Hyde as part of an operation tackling organised crime.

 

They were arrested when officers from Greater Manchester Police raided six addresses in Hyde just after 7am yesterday, Thursday 1 May 2014, while Met Police officers simultaneously raided an address in Surrey.

 

More than 50 officers took part in Tameside Police's Operation Ordaz, which was orchestrated in response to an investigation into organised criminality in Tameside.

 

Officers have been investigating a possible plot by a network of people to pervert the course of justice in an ongoing criminal investigation.

 

The three men and two women who were arrested today have been linked to this continuing investigation.

 

Detective Constable Martyn Kendall: “The arrests are a result of months of careful planning from Operation Ordaz officers.

 

“We received allegations that people were attempting to corrupt the criminal justice system, using any means necessary to force a witness to change his testimony.

 

“We are sending out a message to anyone hoping to derail justice, by any means, will fail and be punished severely.

 

“If you have information on anyone who may be committing crime in your area, please call police on 101 or for more information visit gmp.police.uk.”

Officers from Titan and Greater Manchester Police have taken part in raids targeting a £10 million pound money laundering operation.

 

Police executed warrants at a number of addresses in Cheetham Hill, Salford and Hale Barns, Altrincham, Openshaw, Bolton, Oldham and Sale in the early hours of Tuesday 2 November 2014.

 

Officers have seized high value cars including Porsches, a Range Rover and a Mercedes, alongside designer handbags and shoes, perfume and a significant amount of cash and laptops.

 

Seven men and two women aged between 27 and 50 have been arrested on suspicion of international money laundering and remain in police custody for questioning.

 

This morning’s raids have been part of an eight-month investigation into money laundering by organised crime groups across Europe by officers from Titan, the North West Regional Organised Crime Unit.

 

Detective Superintendent Jason Hudson, Titan’s head of operations said: "The coordinated arrests come as a result of an extensive and thorough eight month long investigation by my team.

 

“This investigation into money laundering that has a reach far wider than just Manchester, with criminal operations reaching as far as Paris, and we believe as much as £10 million may have been moved.”

 

“Along with our colleagues from Greater Manchester Police, HMRC, DWP and also the French Police, we have taken a significant step today in dismantling organised crime groups who are damaging communities with illegal money laundering, and the other crime this funds.

 

“We have seized a number of high-value cars today, which I hope will show the public that we will and do strip criminals of their assets.

 

“I send the message to people involved in this type of crime: your actions will eventually catch up with you and we will knock on your door.

"I would urge decent, law-abiding members of the community who have information about criminality where they live to share that information with their local police force or Crimestoppers so that positive action can be taken."
