Officers from Titan - the North West Regional Crime Unit - and Greater Manchester Police have taken part in raids targeting people suspected of being involved in a £300 million pound drugs conspiracy.
Police executed warrants at a number of addresses in Altrincham, Prestwich, Salford and Bolton in the early hours of Wednesday 2 July 2014.
A quantity of cash and drugs have been seized and are being examined to identify what they are.
Eight men were arrested on suspicion of drugs trafficking offences and three women were arrested on suspicion of possessing Class B drugs.
This morning’s raids have been part of an extensive investigation into the supply of Class A, B and C drugs across the North West by officers from Titan.
Detective Superintendent Jason Hudson, Titan’s head of operations said: "The coordinated arrests this morning come as a result of an intensive and painstaking 12 month long investigation by my team.
“Our actions have delivered a massive blow against the organised criminals operating in the Manchester and North West region, and we continue to send a strong message to others involved in this type of crime that we will act on information we receive and we will be knocking on your door.
“We remain committed to tackling those involved in drugs offences by dismantling their hierachies and putting those involved before the courts.
"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."

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.”

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."

23 people have been arrested following an operation to target suspected criminals involved in the trafficking and supply of large amounts of Class A drugs.
Today, 27 March 2013, officers from the Oldham Organised Crime Unit together with the Cleveland Organised Crime Unit carried out a number of warrants in the Greater Manchester and Cleveland area.
In Greater Manchester, 11 warrants were executed and 12 people, nine men and three women, have been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply Class A drugs and money laundering and remain in police custody for questioning.
A further 11 arrests were made in the Cleveland area.
The warrants in Greater Manchester took place across the Oldham, Rochdale and Tameside areas and follows months of work by the two Forces to target those suspected of being involved in the Class A drugs trade.
In the last 12 months, the Oldham Organised Crime Team have made numerous arrests and recovered up to a quarter of a million pounds in cash and drugs and mixing agents worth more than £3m.
Chief Superintendent Catherine Hankinson said: "These arrests mark the culmination of months of work between ourselves and police in Cleveland to target those suspected of flooding the streets of Greater Manchester with Class A drugs.
"They are the latest in a string in operations we have been running in Oldham over the past year to target all those involved in blighting our communities with the sale and importation of drugs.
"This action is a response to what residents are telling us time and time again, which is to see these people taken off the streets and stop drugs from causing harm. In the last 12 months we have made huge inroads into tackling this problem by seizing up to £3m worth of drugs but we know we have more work to do.
"We will continue to target criminals who line their pockets by peddling drugs, and using Proceeds of Crime Act legislation we can also seize their assets that all too often are paid for out of drug money.
"None of this would be possible without the help and support of the local community, and their information is absolutely vital to us. We see this very much as a partnership and I would continue to encourage people to report any suspicious behaviour to us or any concerns you have, and together we can continue to strike back against drug dealers."

Assistant Chief Constable Ian Hopkins leads a prisoner away.
Twenty three people have today, 1st November 2011, been arrested following an investigation into the August disorder.
Operation Valant was launched by Greater Manchester Police to identify and arrest those involved in the widespread disorder across Manchester city centre and Salford on 9 August 2011.
Today, following a series of dawn raids across Salford, north and central Manchester and Bury, police have arrested 13 people wanted on suspicion of arson, violent disorder and looting. A further three people were arrested as part of the operation on suspicion of unconnected offences.
Officers have also recovered suspected stolen clothing and other items and uncovered a large cannabis farm.
In the near three months since the disorder, Greater Manchester Police has launched a huge operation to target suspected offenders, arresting more than 350 people and putting more than 200 of those before the courts.
Many of these have arrests have been carried out thanks to tremendous support from the public, who have come forward and put names to CCTV images the Force has published on its Flickr site and in the local and national media.
Assistant Chief Constable Ian Hopkins, who leads Operation Valant, said: "What today's action shows is that almost three months since the disorder, we are still relentlessly pursuing those suspected of being involved in the shameful actions we saw that day.
"We know from talking to our communities that what happened on 9 August continues to provoke feelings of anger and outrage. Many shopkeepers are rebuilding their livelihoods and people are still trying to come to terms with the violent and ugly scenes the police and the public were faced with.
"That is why Greater Manchester Police is continuing to arrest anyone suspected of being involved in the disorder. As today shows, whether it is a matter of days or months, we will be coming through the doors of anyone involved whether it is a looter, an arsonist, those who attacked police officers or even those who used social networking sites to stir up trouble.

A short news video about Operation Eye.
Police have arrested 25 people so far after synchronised raids this morning, Tuesday 5 October 2010.
Shortly after 6am, nearly 500 officers from the North Manchester Division and other divisions across GMP, officers from the Specialist Operations Branch, including Tactical Firearms Officers and the Dog Unit carried out 30 warrants across Greater Manchester.
Twenty-five people aged between 17 and 47 years old from the Cheetham Hill, Crumpsall, Prestwich, Whitefield and Broughton areas were arrested on suspicion of various drug related offences.
Quantities of drugs and cash have been seized during the house searches.
Officers will remain in the area throughout the next two weeks to provide reassurance to the local community and to support anyone affected by today's action.
Drug support workers will also be in the area to provide support to anyone affected by the raids.
Also, the 'Have Your Say' van will be outside the Cheetham Hill Police Station over the next couple of days if any local residents want to speak to officers.
A number of special constables from Greater Manchester Police and Cheshire Constabulary have taken a day off their usual work to assist with the operation.
Chief Superintendent Caroline Ball said: "These raids are the result of us talking to the community and listening to their concerns about the sale and use of drugs in the area.
"This operation has been carefully planned to cause as much disruption as possible and we could not have done this without the community's information and support, so for this I want to say thank-you.
"We take the issue of drugs extremely seriously and understand the impact they can have on individuals and the community as a whole, as addicts turn to crimes such as burglary and robbery to fund their habit.
"Today's action has been about removing those who feel it is acceptable to openly deal drugs in an area predominantly made up of families and blight their lives.
"We are committed to tackling drugs in the area, but we need the communities to work with us, to provide the information we need to catch those responsible and make them face justice for their behaviour.
"While the raids are nearly finished, there will continue to be a large presence of officers in the area to listen to any concerns local residents may have. Members of the community can also contact the neighbourhood policing team by phone, email or simply calling into their local station."
Anyone with information on the sale or use of drugs in their community should call the local neighbourhood policing team, or call the independent charity Crimestoppers , anonymously on 0800 555 111.

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.

ORLANDO, Fla. - LimpingFrog Productions partnered with Operation Giveback to produce a highlight reel for the 5th Annual 5k/10k Run, Walk, Roll held May 16, 2015, at the University of Central Florida.
Created by veterans of Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom, Operation Giveback for Wounded Warriors, Inc. (OGB) is a non-profit organziation committed to raising funds and awareness for America's wounded warriors and the families of fallen heroes.
"This race is one of several charitable events that OGB hosts around the country," said Jose Garcia, founder of Operation Giveback and retired Army command sergeant major. "Together these events not only raise money for wounded warriors and families who lost a loved one while serving their country, [but] they also instill hope by reminding them that their sacrfices will always be remembered by a grateful nation."
LimpingFrog Productions' crack team of videographers and photographers captured the action both on the ground and in the air while highlighting the faith, hope and charity that drew thousands of people to compete and volunteer for this event.
"This was the first time in our company's 10-year history that we incoporated a drone in our projects," said John L. Carkeet IV, executive producer of LimpingFrog Productions. "The stunning 'eye in the sky' perspective uniquely visualizes the outpour of support for the men and women who lost limbs and sometimes their very lives while defending our nation."
Currently serving as a public affairs noncommissioned officer in the Army Reserve, Carkeet could relate closely to these sacrfices when tragedy struck the very foundation of LimpingFrog Productions just one week earlier. While volunteering for a five-month tour with U.S. Army Japan near Tokyo, Carkeet received a call from his wife who informed him that Adam T. Lee, co-founder of LimpingFrog Productions, perished in a tram accident at the Orlando International Airport on May 8.
"I was too shocked to shed tears at first," recalled Carkeet. "It took a few minutes to accept the fact that my close friend and business partner of 17 years was gone forever. I'm not ashamed to admit that, when the truth finally registered, my wales could be heard throughout the barracks."
Carkeet and Lee met in 1998 while they worked as volunteer production assistants for Time Warner Cable in Melbourne, Fla. After producing several short films and dcumentaries during their undergraduate years at the University of Central Florida, the pair started LimpingFrog Productions in 2004. Carkeet and Lee partnered with numerous clients under the LimpingFrog banner to produce various projects digital media from weddings and commercials to sport documentaries and corporate events.
"LimpingFrog Productions was a part-time operation until 2010," said Carkeet. "That was when Adam had single-handedly locked in our first long-term client while I completed basic military training for the U.S. Army Reserve. [Adam] continued to expand the business while I fulfilled various military assignments both at home and abroad."
Lee was preparing to step in as director for the Operation Giveback while Carkeet embarked on his latest military assignment in Japan. Lee died 10 days after the two met to discuss the future of the company.
"We were editing our highlight reel and preparing to unveil our new website," said Carkeet. "We tabled a few topics until Adam returned from his vacation to Columbia. Sadly, those and every other business-related matters settle onto my shaky hands and tear-stricken face."
Hours after the last runner crossed the finish line at UCF, Carkeet and his team broke down their gear and made their way to Rockledge, Fla, to attend a memorial ceremony to celebrate the life of an inspiring individual.
"It was stressful day and a emotionally draining night," admitted Carkeet. "However, the new and familiar faces that supported this endeavor offer hope that LimpingFrog Productions will continue Adam's legacy."

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."

The equipment set from the past weekend's Operation North Pole train ended up on the North Line on Tuesday and Wednesday, albeit, a different diesel on the front. Here is METX Cab Carr #8436 pulling into Winnetka with train 310.
Operation Grimaldi is targeting cyclists in a bid to encourage them to learn how to ‘share the road’ with others safely.
The operation has been running since the beginning of 2013, focusing on ‘hot spot’ areas where pedal cyclists have been seen using the roads dangerously or irresponsibly.
The traffic network team at Greater Manchester Police has been working along the Oxford Road corridor and Wilmslow Road area of the city centre where a number of collisions have occurred recently. GMP had also received a number of complaints about cyclists failing to stop at red lights and weaving dangerously in and out of traffic.
The operation has seen 415 fixed penalties issued over 10 days of action spread across five months (February to June 2013) for offences such as running red lights, not having lights fitted, cycling on footpaths and using mobile phones whilst cycling.
Offenders were given the option of paying the fine or attending a cycling awareness event at the nearby Withington and Moss Side fire stations.
Traffic PCSO Gareth Walker said: “The aim of the operation was not to fine all offenders but to educate them, offer training and promote road safety.
“Many of the cyclists we spoke to were not aware of the danger they put themselves and others in by the actions they were taking while failing to stop or being distracted on their phones.
“The number of people killed or seriously injured on the roads has fallen over the last two years but we need to continue to educate road users of how to share the roads safely in order to ensure these numbers continue to fall.”
Every adult in Greater Manchester is entitled to six hours free cycle training where an approved instructor will attend your place of work or home and offer support and education about cycle safety. For more information go to www.tfgm.com/cycling.
