Operation Alveras by Greater Manchester Police

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."

Operation Mandera by Greater Manchester Police

2

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) today, 12 November 2014, held a community event in Piccadilly Gardens following the recent success of Operation Mandera.

The event comes as 13 men received drug dealing sentences during a busy 5 week period in September and October 2014. Between them, these 13 men received 230 months imprisonment and 8 Criminal Anti-Social Behaviour Orders (CRASBO).

The cumulative prison time handed out to drug dealers arrested as part of Operation Mandera in 2014 currently stands at 21 years and 5 months.

As well as speaking to members of the public, officers handed out leaflets filled with information on Operation Mandera and some details about the more prolific offenders who have been sentenced.

The event has been funded by cash and assets seized from criminals – including drug dealers arrested in the gardens – under the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA).

Operation Mandera was launched in 2013 following feedback from the community, to tackle anti-social behaviour and crime in Piccadilly Gardens.

The operation consists of enforcement work from GMP’s City Centre Neighbourhood Policing team, carried out alongside initiatives from partners including Manchester City Council's Neighbourhood Delivery, CCTV and Community Safety teams.

This year has been a busy one so far for the team who have made 40 arrests for drug dealing, resulting in 21 sentences. Of the 21 sentenced, 15 have were sent to prison and 9 have received CRASBOs banning them from entering Piccadilly Gardens for 2 years after they are released from prison.

Inspector Phil Spurgeon said: “We know that Piccadilly Gardens presents some long-standing and fairly unique crime and anti-social behaviour challenges but we have been working incredibly hard with our partners over the last 18 months to make the area safer.

“Our work tackling cannabis dealing in Piccadilly Gardens has not always been seen by the public so it was important that we came back to tell them that we listened and took positive action.

“We’re particularly pleased that we have been able to harness the community's support and concerns, to secure long prison sentences and CRASBOs for a large number of drug dealers.

“We know that we have more work to do, but today’s event is about reassuring the community that alongside our partners, we are committed to making Piccadilly Gardens safer.”

Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner Jim Battle said: “Operation Mandera sends a clear message to drug pedlars that they will be arrested and prosecuted for plying their evil trade in the city centre.

“It also sends a strong message to the public that Greater Manchester Police will act on their information and concerns and mount successful actions to remove drug dealers from the streets of Manchester.

“Members of the public have seen a difference and I am determined to make sure this successful operation is lasting and that there will be no return for these criminals to Piccadilly Gardens.”

Councillor Bernard Priest, deputy leader of Manchester City Council, said: "Piccadilly Gardens is an area of the city centre enjoyed by families and people who want to make use of our open spaces, and our work with the police demonstrates that we will not tolerate those who have the audacity to try to use the area for drug dealing and other criminal activities.

“Not only have these people been given lengthy custodial sentences, but we have issued orders ensuring they will go straight back to jail if they dare to venture there again.

"We'll be in Piccadilly Gardens to reassure people who want to use this area that we aren't going away, and anyone with information about antisocial or criminal behaviour should contact us or the police."

“We appreciate the road closures and evacuation has led to disruption and we would like to thank local people for their understanding while this police activity has been on-going.

We are also really grateful for the public’s continued help in what is a very fast moving investigation and again we appeal for the public to contact us with any information, however small you believe it may be, about Abedi’s movements.”

Operation Suffield by Greater Manchester Police

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.

People with any concerns can contact your Neighbourhood Policing Team directly about any issues related to crime or anti-social behaviour on:

Operation Crossbow by Greater Manchester Police

2

Criminals travelling across the border between Greater Manchester and Cheshire were greeted with more than a surprise on Thursday 26 June 2014, as officers from Greater

Manchester Police and Cheshire Police and took part in Operation Crossbow.

The overall aim of the joint operation was to disrupt illegal activity between the two counties and deny criminals the use of the roads.

By using Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras officers were able to monitor virtually every vehicle that crossed between the two counties, stopping all vehicles that were on the roads illegally or were linked to criminal activity.

Cheshire Police Assistant Chief Constable Mark Roberts said: "We know that criminals don′t simply stop when they reach the border, and we also know that there is as strong link between illegal vehicles and other types of serious crime.

"Uninsured drivers are more likely to commit other offences and many of their vehicles are unroadworthy and pose as real danger to other road users.

"Using technology, such as ANPR cameras, we are able to use the intelligence available to us to identify offenders and bring them to justice."

Greater Manchester Police Inspector Matt Bailey-Smith said: "We will not allow the safety of our roads to be compromised by criminals and operations like today will help us achieve our overall aim of keeping criminals off our roads.

"However, offenders across Cheshire and Greater Manchester can be assured that this is not a one-off operation. Our officers patrol the roads 365 days a year and will continue to target criminals."

Operation Crossbow involved more than 200 officers from Cheshire Police and GMP, as well as staff from partner agencies such as the UK Border Agency, Department of Work and Pensions, Her Majesties Revenue and Customs and the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency.

ANPR cameras are able to monitor more than 3000 number plates every hour and alert officers if a vehicle is linked to known criminals. The cameras also inform officers whether or not the vehicle is taxed & insured.

Both Greater Manchester Police and Cheshire Police and are keen to remind members of the public that they too can help make our roads safer by reporting illegal use of vehicles to the police on 101. Alternatively information can be reported anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Operation Muswell by Greater Manchester Police

1

Police in Bolton have today arrested 15 people in connection with drug dealing in the borough.

This morning’s warrants, which targeted those suspected of selling Class A drugs in the town centre at night time, follow months of intelligence gathering and planning by police in Bolton.

More than 20 raids were carried out in the early hours of Thursday 10 September 2015, in areas across Bolton including Halliwell, Breightmet and Stoneclough, organised by officers from Bolton’s Operation Challenger team, which is a specialist team targeting those involved in organised criminal activity.

More than 200 officers from various units across GMP were involved in the raids, in which 13 men have been arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of drugs. A man and a woman were also arrested on suspicion of possession of cannabis. Another man was arrested on suspicion of obstructing a police officer.

They have been taken into police custody and will be questioned by detectives later today.

Quantities of cannabis and cocaine were recovered from several addresses and a firearm was seized from a property in Halliwell.

Superintendent Andrea Jones from GMP’s Bolton division said: “This morning’s arrests are the result of the community standing shoulder to shoulder with the police to take a strong stance against those involved in drug related activity in Bolton.

“The warrants carried out today are just the first phase of this operation, which will now see us working with local partner agencies including housing, licensing, revenue and customs and other departments to see if people are in breach of local authority housing agreements, benefit fraud, business licenses etc.

“The work of organised crime groups is constantly changing in their attempt to stay ahead of the police, and Operation Challenger sees GMP working together with other agencies to tackle serious and organised crime, so that all aspect of criminals’ lives are targeted, making it much harder for organised crime groups to operate.

“We cannot do this alone though and we need the public’s support to continue to provide us with information about illegal activity in their neighbourhood. I would like to thank our communities across Bolton for their support so far and assure people that this is not just a one off in tackling those blighting our night time economy in the town centre and surrounding areas.”

Programme Challenger was launched in Greater Manchester in 2012 and has become internationally recognised as a good model of effective organised crime policing. The operation has now been launched in Bolton and through collaboration with partner agencies and the general public, Challenger uses various intelligence-led methods to disrupt and dismantle organised crime groups across Bolton and Greater Manchester.

Anyone with information that they wish to pass to the Operation Challenger team in Bolton is asked to contact police on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously with information on 0800 555 111.
