Police in Greater Manchester have arrested over 120 people as part of their latest blitz on burglary and robbery.
Officers carried out a number of warrants under Operation Storm which included the arrest of wanted offenders and those that have been targeting the city’s students. Approximately 90 cannabis plants with an estimated street value of £90,000 were recovered at an address in Fallowfield, along with cultivation equipment at an estimated value of £10,000.
Some of the wanted offenders arrested included 18-year old and 19-year old men who were wanted for a cash in transit robbery. On arresting the pair an amount of cash was recovered. Officers also arrested a 25-year old man wanted following a robbery on a taxi driver and a 19-year old man wanted for an assault.
Specialist and divisional officers have visited the homes of criminals across the county to ensure they fulfilled their bail and curfew conditions and not returning to their offending ways.
There have also been home visits carried out to repeat victims of domestic abuse to ensure their abusing partners do not return to cause them further harm.
Deputy Chief Constable Ian Hopkins for Greater Manchester Police, said: “Our actions during the operation show we respond to the concerns of local people and the misery burglary and drug dealing causes to people living across Greater Manchester.
“The response we got from people on the streets who witnessed our activity was fantastic and demonstrated the confidence people have to give us information and work with us to tackle criminality.
“Last month saw the return of students old and new but for criminals it simply means rich and easy pickings. By holding this operation we can bring down this type of crime and ensure the youngsters can enjoy their time while studying in the city without the fear of becoming a victim of crime.
“As the nights get darker there is a rise in the number of opportunist thieves who like to prey on unsuspecting homes. By getting in before they do we can help put a stop in their tracks. This crackdown, coupled with our daily offender targeting sends criminals a clear message that they can’t harm our community with impunity.
“However we can’t make a difference on our own. By using a light timer, setting an alarm and making your home look occupied you can reduce the chance of becoming a victim of crime. Remember one in three homes are targeted because homes are left insecure.”
Residents can play their part in the fight against criminals by reporting suspicious activity either directly on 101 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.

Greater Manchester Police has launched Operation North Star – our initiative to help protect communities during the festive period and bring criminals to justice.
This is aligned to the government’s “Winter of Action” plan, which was recently unveiled by the Home Secretary following the success of the government’s Safer Streets summer initiative.
Action for Winter activity will see police forces partner with local businesses, authorities, and police and crime commissioners to target shop theft and anti-social behaviour, as part of the government’s Plan for Change to make our streets safer.
This forcewide operation will demonstrate our commitment to keeping people and their property safe during what is traditionally one of the busiest periods in local policing.
Bringing together neighbourhood policing teams, specialist departments, and partner agencies across Greater Manchester, we are committed to deliver both prevention and enforcement activities in the lead up to Christmas and into the New Year.
A key date within the eight-week initiative was the launch of the Manchester Christmas Markets, with it being a key attraction to residents from Greater Manchester and those visiting from further afield. With millions of people expected to descend on the hundreds of stalls,
increased resources from GMP have been allocated to keep the markets a safe and enjoyable space for all.
Our officers and partners will be more visible as we work together across problematic areas to tackle priority crime types, including:
Violence prevention, with particular emphasis on domestic abuse and the safety of women and girls in public place.
Targeted action against drink and drug driving.
Enhanced burglary prevention and investigation.
Robust response to personal robbery and theft.
Dedicated focus on vehicle crime.
Increased cybercrime prevention and awareness.
Comprehensive retail crime prevention
Assistant Chief Constable Matt Boyle, GMP’s lead for Local Policing, said: “In 2025, we welcomed the government’s pledge for stronger and safer streets in Greater Manchester through the Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee.
Operation North Star aligns to the government’s Winter of Action initiative and our commitment to working in unison with partners to reduce crime and protect the communities we serve.
“Our priority will be strengthening engagement with local communities to hear their concerns and respond effectively. Residents and business owners can expect greater visibility of officers and partners as we work together to ensure a safe winter for everyone.
“During last year’s festive operation, we made 784 arrests, which was an increase on both 2022 and 2023. This isn’t about limiting people’s enjoyment - it’s about creating an environment where everyone can have a good time without feeling unsafe or at risk of harm.
“We will work tirelessly to ensure everyone can do this by having the right resources in the right places at the right times, to help the most vulnerable, and to provide a swift and effective response to incidents when they occur.”
Kate Green, Deputy Mayor for Safer and Stronger Communities, said: “Operation North Star is about making sure everyone in Greater Manchester can enjoy the festive season safely.
“We’re backing our frontline officers and partner agencies to be visible and proactive -
preventing anti-social behaviour and crime and making our neighbourhoods places where people feel confident walking home, enjoying time with family and friends, and shopping locally.
“This operation reflects our shared commitment in our ‘Standing Together’ police and crime plan and supports the Greater Manchester Strategy’s ambition for safer communities - where people feel secure, supported, and connected.
“I want to reassure residents and visitors that officers and partners are out there not just to respond to incidents, but to prevent harm, offer support, and help build the kind of communities we all want to live in - safe, inclusive, and resilient this winter and beyond.”

Police seized 41 vehicles during a two-day traffic operation earlier this week.
Officers were out in force with partner agencies as part of Operation Unity, which targeted a range of offences on the roads.
Check sites were set up in Gorton, Eastlands, Bolton and Manchester and during the course of the two days 575 vehicles were stopped.
Twelve vehicles were seized for being used illegally in the UK, 24 vehicles were seized for no insurance, two were seized for being driven without a licence and three were seized by the DVLA.
Police also issued 100 Traffic Offence Reports (TORs) to motorists, including 43 to drivers using a mobile phone and 16 for seatbelt offences.
The Drive & Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) issued 55 prohibitions to commercial drivers for vehicle defects.
One vehicle was dealt with for red diesel, six taxi drivers were suspended and a 50-year old man was arrested on suspicion of two robberies in Tameside and remains in police custody for questioning.
Sergeant Garry Lyle from GMP’s Traffic Enforcement Unit said: “Partners and officers came together over the last two days to target offenders and send a stark reminder out to motorists that we will not let them compromise the safety of others on our roads.
“The Traffic Enforcement Unit deals with offences such as these on a daily basis but not to the same extent. We’re really grateful to our partners for assisting us throughout the operation and look forward to doing more of the same in the very near future.”

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

At 6am this morning (Wednesday 7 June 2023), officers from Longsight’s Neighbourhood Crime Team were sat in a briefing room at the station ready to conduct a number of warrants across Salford as part of Operation Acquire, a GMP force wide day of action to tackle neighbourhood crime.
The warrants were executed as part of an investigation into a series of over 10 robberies in Manchester City Centre between March and April 2023.
Four men, aged between 18 and 19 from the Salford area of Greater Manchester, have been arrested on suspicion of robbery offences. They all remain in custody for questioning.
Following searches of the four addresses, officers seized clothing and mobile phones.
Sergeant Hannah Rudd, of GMP's City of Manchester District, said: "Robbery offences are intrusive and we are aware of the impact they have on victims.
"GMP continues its fight against neighbourhood crime, whilst proactive teams are focusing on preventing and reducing this type of crime.
“We ask the public to be switched on regarding their own safety and aware of your personal security and follow GMP’s crime prevention advice which can be found on our website.
"I hope these arrests send a clear message that we will investigate this kind of crime thoroughly, and work to ensure those responsible for it face the consequences of their actions.
"Anyone concerned or anyone with information can report it online at www.gmp.police.uk.

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.

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.”

Placing flowers at the back of the Fort Harrison where Lisa McPherson was held for her final days. That folding display features the St. Pete Times front page article from this summer that detailed her tragic death at the hands of scientology.
December 5, 2009 was the 23nd consecutive month of peaceful global protests against the scientology cult. Several cities around the world chose Dec 5th as it is the 14th anniversary of Lisa McPherson's www.lisamcpherson.org/ death in scientology care at The Fort Harrison hotel in Clearwater.
Clearwater went with an Operation Frogger theme to ridicule the cult's top Clearwater OSA doofus Peter "Peetie" Mansell, who eyewitnesses said almost ran over an Anonymous protester walking down the sidewalk last month. The witnesses said had another Anon not yelled out a warning and the Anon jumped back, she would have been hit by Mansell. A police report was filed, witness statements were taken and a picture of the offending cult-owned fleet Honda's license place was turned over as evidence. These cult fleet vehicles are easy to spot with their Florda license plates all begin with the letter X.
Since last month's protest Senator Xenophon of Australia addressed The Australian Parliment calling scientology a "criminal organization" and requesting a parlimentary investigation.

www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/nov/18/scientology-torture-...
www.heraldsun.com.au/news/senator-nick-xeneophon-brands-s...
The vote on that is scheduled for February 2010, but in the mean time Australian police are investigating the allegations.

Part 1: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpKxzWNdONM&feature=related
Part 2: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vk5O302kHNM&feature=related
Additionally, on Nov 25th a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court by ex-scientologist John Lindstein claims scientology enslaved him as a child and alleges human trafficking amongst other charges, naming cult leader David Miscavige, and two cult corporate entities as defendants.
Courthouse news story: www.courthousenews.com/2009/12/01/Man_Says_Scientologists...
A copy of the actual complaint can be seen here: www.scribd.com/doc/23175190/Complaint-filed112509
All faces of those unmasked are blurred to protect them from the cult's "Fair Game" policy of harassing it's critics. These are brave people of all ages and walks of life, standing shoulder to shoulder with ex-Scientologists to bring the truth TO YOU.
But don't take my word for it, educate yourself about what TIME Magazine called "The Cult of Greed and Power":
Officers visit another address.
Fifteen people have been arrested by Greater Manchester Police in raids as part of an operation to target drug dealing in Oldham.
The people were arrested when officers raided 15 addresses just after 6am today, Thursday 21 July 2011.
Officers from Oldham's Neighbourhood Policing Teams launched the operation, codenamed Operation Rescind II, 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, where officers raided 16 addresses in March 2011, which 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, 15 men 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 Hathershaw, Chadderton, Westwood, Alt, Werneth, Moorside and Ashton-under Lyne areas.
Shotgun ammunition has been recovered from one address and a quantity of cannabis has been recovered from another.
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.
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 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."

Twenty people have been arrested following the latest phase of an operation to tackle the sale of stolen metal in Greater Manchester.
Earlier today, Wednesday 22 May 2013, Greater Manchester Police and British Transport Police executed a number of warrants at scrap metal dealers across the area as part of an intelligence-led Operation Alloy day of action.
Raids were executed at scrapyards in Rochdale, Bury, north Manchester, Oldham, Bolton and Salford.
The initiative also saw officers search the home addresses of those arrested as well as a number of partner agencies assist in the search of recycling yards and the recovery of potentially stolen metal.
Superintendent Craig Thompson, who leads Greater Manchester Police's Operation Alloy team, said: "Since Operation Alloy was launched more than two years ago, we have made huge inroads into tackling metal theft.
"However, despite a sharp drop in incidents of metal theft, we know there is still a culture that exists among thieves who believe they can off-load stolen metal onto scrapyards.
"Any scrapyard dealer who knowingly accepts stolen goods or pays cash for metal is propagating this cycle of criminality, creating a market for thieves for prosper, and that is exactly why we have taken this action today. If a burglar knows he can sell stolen metal to a rogue dealer, it will entice them into committing offences that can cause real hardship to businesses and victims.
"For example, if a pensioner has her boiler stolen in winter they will be unable to heat their home which could put their life in danger. We also know of businesses that have been forced to shell out hundreds of thousands of pounds to pay for repairs as a direct result of metal thieves. The knock-on effect of that is to put people's jobs on the line as businesses struggle to fund those repairs, so the human cost of what these rogue dealers are doing should not be underestimated.
"It is important to stress that of the 70 scrapyards across Greater Manchester, the vast majority have worked hand-in-hand with police and are fully compliant with all the legislation. They have helped us to create a hostile environment that has made it very difficult for thieves to off-load stolen metal.
"What today is all about is targeting those rogue dealers who are suspected of lining their own pockets and making huge swathes of cash by knowingly selling stolen metal. In terms of officer numbers and the sheer scale of the investigation, this is the biggest operation ourselves and British Transport Police have run which shows our determination to tackling metal theft."
When Operation Alloy was originally launched in August 2011 the region was recording up to 900 incidents of metal theft per month, a number which has now been reduced to about 200 per month.
T/Chief Superintendent Pete Mason, BTP's North West Area Commander, said: "Today's warrants are the culmination of a year-long joint investigation into the trade in stolen metal across Greater Manchester.
"Metal theft is a serious issue which has a major impact on the lives of those living and working in Greater Manchester.
"Whether thieves target railway cable, power lines, electrical substations or lead from homes or business, the impact felt by communities is marked and causes not only disruption but also financial loss and potential risk of harm.
"Thankfully, during the past 12 months, there have been significant reductions in the number of thefts recorded - due, in part, to legislative change which has gone hand in hand with enforcement activity under Operation Alloy."
T/Chief Supt Mason added: "Unfortunately, despite this recent success, the issue has not gone away and some scrap metal recyclers are keeping the market for stolen metal alive by continuing to flout the law and purchase metal with a 'no questions asked' attitude.
"This has to stop and GMP and BTP, together with partner agencies across the region, will continue to work together to take action against both thieves and unscrupulous scrap metal dealers."
Steve Cox, future network manager for Electricity North West, the company which owns and maintains the regional power network, said: "We have been working closely with Greater Manchester Police and British Transport Police and today's successful day of action highlights our commitment to crack down on this very serious crime.
"Metal theft not only affects us, your network operator, but also communities and residents, who could be left without power in their homes.
"These thieves, who are breaking into our substations or stealing from our overhead lines, are putting themselves and others in great danger and it causes thousands of pounds worth of damage.
"We are investing a lot of money and resources into putting a stop to metal theft in our region once and for all, but we would still urge people to get in touch if they hear or see anything suspicious."

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.

Always dial 999 when there is an emergency or an immediate threat to life.
Five men have been arrested following raids at three addresses in Oldham today, 21 November 2011, as part of Operation Caminada.
Thousands of pounds in cash, a quantity of drugs as well as a Toyota Hiace and BMW 5 series were seized as part of the raids.
Operation Caminada has been set up to combat organised crime in the town. It involves a wide variety of agencies including Oldham Council working together to investigate individuals believed to be involved in organised crime.
The Operation Caminada team will investigate all areas of a suspected criminal’s life including, their business interests, benefits and associates. The information they gather is used to build an intelligence picture and identify illegal activity.
The organisations involved can then use their various powers to make it more difficult for these individuals to pursue their criminal lifestyle, such as revoking their licences and freezing their benefits.
In the months since work on the initiative has begun, officers have started financial investigations into those businesses involved criminality.
Chief Superintendent Tim Forber, Oldham Divisional Commander, said: “There are people involved in organised crime in this Borough who don’t abide by the norms of society. They often make vast sums of money, predominantly by selling drugs in some of our most vulnerable communities and represent a negative role model for young people growing up.
“Operation Caminada involves the police, Oldham Council and a whole range of partners who have agreed to use their collective regulatory powers to target these individuals. Often such criminals set up legitimate businesses in order to launder the money they make from other illegal enterprises. We will collectively work to disrupt those businesses and make it as difficult as possible for them to operate.
“It is important to stress that this is not a substitute for prosecuting criminals through the courts. So far this year we have undertaken in excess of 120 search warrants which have resulted in the prosecution of 111 individual offences of supplying controlled drugs. We have also seized more than £150,000 in cash from criminals. This operation will complement that work and deliver a clear message to people involved organised crime that they are not wanted in this Borough.
“The public can also help us by letting us know who they believe is living off crime. Information can be passed anonymously via the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 or you can contact police on 0161 872 5050.”
Councillor Jean Stretton, Oldham Council’s Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods, said: “Organised crime is a serious blight on local communities and can only be tackled effectively by co-ordinated partnership working by Oldham Council alongside the police and other agencies.
“We are prepared to stand up and fight for our neighbourhoods because it is our ordinary law-abiding residents and businesses who suffer the effects of organised crime in its various guises such as street corner drug dealing, illegal firearms, money laundering, blackmail, identity theft and fraud.
“The victims of these crimes are often the most vulnerable members of society who suffer long-term damage as a result, and we need to reduce that vulnerability by taking action and raising awareness to enable people and businesses to protect themselves.
“Intelligence is obviously also a very important part of tackling organised crime and I would urge any residents with information about these kind of activities to report it to the police.
“By working together co-operatively to detect and deter these criminal networks we have a better chance of putting them out of business and improving lives across our neighbourhoods.”

Officers and staff from the TravelSafe Partnership (TSP) will be working alongside Oldham and Rochdale councils to address issues on the Metrolink following a spate of incidents.
During the next week officers will be flooding the Oldham and Rochdale line to offer reassurance to the public and deter and disrupt crime and disorder.
In the last seven months, Greater Manchester Police has recorded 240 reported assaults on the Metrolink line, a number of which were committed against TravelSafe Partnership employees. Sixty six of these assaults took place on the Oldham and Rochdale line.
In addition there have been 75 incidents of criminal damage recorded on the Oldham and Rochdale line, including stones thrown at moving trams, damage to vehicles at Metrolink car parks and damage to ticket machines.
Uniformed and covert officers will be patrolling the network throughout the week in response to the increase in incidents.
The initial operation will run for a week but will be bolstered by an additional three weeks of intensive activity to ensure commuters can travel safely during the summer period.
Superintendent Julie Ellison said: “We’ve seen a worrying number of incidents on the Oldham and Rochdale line in the last six months and it is completely unacceptable for our transport system to be abused in such a way that causes harm and misery to others.
“We know the public share our frustrations and rest assured we are doing all we can to address these issues and ensure the Metrolink is safe for commuters and those that work on it.
“Over the next few weeks you will see a heightened presence on the Metrolink line, with a particular focus on Rochdale and Oldham. Please don’t be alarmed by this – the staff are there to keep you safe and are happy to answer any questions you may have.
“We’ll also be working alongside Rochdale and Oldham councils to deliver long-term solutions to the issues we’ve witnessed, ensuring the transport network remains safe for all.”
Transport for Greater Manchester’s (TfGM) Head of Control and Operations, Chris Thorpe, said; “Crime and anti-social behaviour carried out by a small minority, causes significant disruption and impact to members of the public going about their regular journeys.
“However, it is important to remember that more than 240 million journeys are made on the region’s buses and trams each year, so the chance of being a victim of or witness to an incident remains low.
“It is really important that every member of our community feels safe to travel without feeling intimidated or concerned by the behaviour of others and through working in partnership on operations such as this, we will continue to reinforce and maintain that.”
Bev Hughes, Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime, said: “Any sort of anti-social behaviour across our transport networks must be dealt with swiftly and uncompromisingly. Having recognised issues on the Oldham and Rochdale line it was important for us to increase the number of officers to bring it to an end.
“As always, public safety is of paramount importance to us so we’ll ensure officers continue to patrol the Oldham and Rochdale line throughout the summer. At the same time, we will work with local councils and other partner organisations to put in place long term solutions. This behaviour won’t be tolerated and offenders will be stopped.”
Councillor Sean Fielding, Leader of Oldham Council, said: “The levels of crime and anti-social behaviour on our Metrolink line are a concern and under my leadership Oldham Council is fully behind this initiative.
“The safety of residents is of paramount importance to me and I want to build on the amazing partnership work happening in Oldham to keep people safe in their communities and on public transport.
“As someone who uses public transport every day I have witnessed such behaviour but I’ve also seen that the majority of people using it are responsible and treat it with respect. It’s time to let the selfish few know that we won’t let them ruin it for everyone.”
Councillor Phil Burke, Rochdale Borough Council’s transport spokesperson, said: “I long campaigned for increased police patrols so this is welcome news that sends out a clear message that we are serious about tackling the antisocial behaviour that is blighting parts of the Greater Manchester tram network. This zero tolerance approach will help root out the small number of criminals inflicting this misery and mayhem and reassure the travelling public that our trams are safe, reliable and a great way to travel across Greater Manchester – and into Rochdale.”
The TravelSafe Partnership exists to keep public transport safe across Greater Manchester by offering reassurance to passengers and preventing and dealing with incidents of crime, antisocial behaviour and fare evasion.
The scheme is led by TfGM and Greater Manchester Police with support from contributing operators KeolisAmey Metrolink, Stagecoach and First Manchester.
Under the TSP, a dedicated team of Police Constables (PCs), Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs), Special Constables (SCs) and TravelSafe Officers (TSOs) provide regular patrols on the region’s networks. The TSP also operates an extensive youth education programme, which includes visits to school and youth groups to educate and inform on the effects of antisocial behaviour on victims.

Greater Manchester Police has launched a pre-Christmas crackdown on crime.
Over the next month police will execute 12 high-profile days of action as part of a pre-emptive strike on criminals who spread misery in the run up to Christmas.
The operation – codenamed Bauble – will see more than 800 officers over the 12 days tackling a range of offences including burglary, domestic abuse and criminality on the roads.
A day of action will be held on each of GMP’s 12 divisions, including the Airport.
Local officers will be supported by special constables and specialist units including traffic, mounted officers, tactical aid units, dog handlers and intercept ANPR teams.
Superintendent Craig Thompson from Specialist Operations said: “Operation Bauble sends a very clear warning to offenders that we will not be winding down for Christmas and letting them go on their merry way.
“Over the next month we will be holding a series of high-profile days of action aimed at disrupting criminal activities and keeping the good people of Greater Manchester safe during the festive period.
“Using officers and specialist units from across the force, we intend on blitzing crime and stopping offenders in their tracks so that the only Christmas they’ll be looking forward to is with us.”

Messages of LULZ and support to the Australian Anons and their Senator Xenophon, intergalactic badass.
December 5, 2009 was the 23nd consecutive month of peaceful global protests against the scientology cult. Several cities around the world chose Dec 5th as it is the 14th anniversary of Lisa McPherson's www.lisamcpherson.org/ death in scientology care at The Fort Harrison hotel in Clearwater.
Clearwater went with an Operation Frogger theme to ridicule the cult's top Clearwater OSA doofus Peter "Peetie" Mansell, who eyewitnesses said almost ran over an Anonymous protester walking down the sidewalk last month. The witnesses said had another Anon not yelled out a warning and the Anon jumped back, she would have been hit by Mansell. A police report was filed, witness statements were taken and a picture of the offending cult-owned fleet Honda's license place was turned over as evidence. These cult fleet vehicles are easy to spot with their Florda license plates all begin with the letter X.
Since last month's protest Senator Xenophon of Australia addressed The Australian Parliment calling scientology a "criminal organization" and requesting a parlimentary investigation.

www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/nov/18/scientology-torture-...
www.heraldsun.com.au/news/senator-nick-xeneophon-brands-s...
The vote on that is scheduled for February 2010, but in the mean time Australian police are investigating the allegations.

Part 1: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpKxzWNdONM&feature=related
Part 2: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vk5O302kHNM&feature=related
Additionally, on Nov 25th a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court by ex-scientologist John Lindstein claims scientology enslaved him as a child and alleges human trafficking amongst other charges, naming cult leader David Miscavige, and two cult corporate entities as defendants.

A copy of the actual complaint can be seen here: www.scribd.com/doc/23175190/Complaint-filed112509
All faces of those unmasked are blurred to protect them from the cult's "Fair Game" policy of harassing it's critics. These are brave people of all ages and walks of life, standing shoulder to shoulder with ex-Scientologists to bring the truth TO YOU.
But don't take my word for it, educate yourself about what TIME Magazine called "The Cult of Greed and Power":

Four people have been arrested in raids as part of an operation to crackdown on drug dealing and organised crime in Tameside.
They were arrested when officers from Greater Manchester Police raided nine addresses just after 7am today, Wednesday 4 June 2014.
Officers from Tameside’s neighbourhood policing teams launched the operation, codenamed Operation Suffield, as their response to the growing problem of drugs in the area.
These arrests came after months of investigations by officers from the Tameside division and Serious Crime Division into the distribution of heroin and crack cocaine.
In the raids this morning, four men were arrested on suspicion of drugs offences after officers executed warrants across the Hattersley area of Tameside.
More than 70 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 Tameside’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.
Detective Inspector John Charlton for Tameside 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.
“This operation has taken months of intricate planning and dedication by a large team of officers from across the Force and the National Crime Agency.
“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.”
If you have information on anyone who may be committing crime in your area, please call police on 101 or 0161 872 5050 or for more information visit gmp.police.uk.

Police seized 41 vehicles during a two-day traffic operation earlier this week.
Officers were out in force with partner agencies as part of Operation Unity, which targeted a range of offences on the roads.
Check sites were set up in Gorton, Eastlands, Bolton and Manchester and during the course of the two days 575 vehicles were stopped.
Twelve vehicles were seized for being used illegally in the UK, 24 vehicles were seized for no insurance, two were seized for being driven without a licence and three were seized by the DVLA.
Police also issued 100 Traffic Offence Reports (TORs) to motorists, including 43 to drivers using a mobile phone and 16 for seatbelt offences.
The Drive & Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) issued 55 prohibitions to commercial drivers for vehicle defects.
One vehicle was dealt with for red diesel, six taxi drivers were suspended and a 50-year old man was arrested on suspicion of two robberies in Tameside and remains in police custody for questioning.
Sergeant Garry Lyle from GMP’s Traffic Enforcement Unit said: “Partners and officers came together over the last two days to target offenders and send a stark reminder out to motorists that we will not let them compromise the safety of others on our roads.
“The Traffic Enforcement Unit deals with offences such as these on a daily basis but not to the same extent. We’re really grateful to our partners for assisting us throughout the operation and look forward to doing more of the same in the very near future.”

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.”

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

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."
