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.”

Operation: Brickarossa, a LEGO depiction of the German Operation: Barbarossa and subsequent battles on the front with Russia. Here, Russian and German forces battle for Stalingrad.
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."

Today, Wednesday 13 July 2011, Greater Manchester Police’s Traffic Network Unit ran an operation to tackle crime, anti social behaviour and road related offences in the North Manchester area.
Specialist traffic officers worked with neighbourhood teams and partner agencies on the operation, which included neighbourhood patrol, driver education, heavy goods vehicle checks, speed, seat belt and mobile phone enforcement and the use of Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) to target criminals using the roads.
Off road bike officers also targeted the anti social and illegal use of off road vehicles.
GMPA Chair, Cllr Paul Murphy was also invited on the operation, in his role as Councillor for Moston and spoke of his support for the work done by the officers involved.
Superintendent Craig Thompson said: "The aim of the operation was to reduce crime, educate people, improve quality of life and ultimately save lives."

Thousands of pounds worth of Class A drugs, cash, and a suspected firearm have been recovered during raids across Manchester this morning.
At around 5am this morning (Thursday 25 March) Officers from GMP's City of Manchester Division, the Intelligence development Unit, Op Challenger and the North West Regional Organised Crime Unit, executed warrants as part of Operation Apostle, at five addresses across the city.
During the Operation, five men, aged between 23 and 59 were arrested on suspicion of drugs and firearms offences, and money laundering, and remain in custody for questioning.
During searches of the properties, Class A drugs were recovered believed to be worth around £10,000, along with £2000 worth of cash, and a suspected firearm.
This morning's activity forms part of an investigation into organised crime, possession of firearms and drug dealing in the Hulme, Moss Side and Manchester area.
Chief Inspector John Harris of GMP's City of Manchester Division, said "The early morning police activity today has been the culmination of a great team effort. Over a period of time officers have been gathering intelligence and evidence, leading to the activity today where we have been able to continue to enforce, intervene and tackle organised crime in Hulme, Moss Side and the wider Manchester area.
Today we have been able to recover a potentially lethal weapon, a significant quantity of drugs, and an amount of cash. This is another positive step forward in our commitment to ensuring the community are kept safe and that the risk of harm is reduced.
“A lot of unseen work has gone into the preparation of today's activity to disrupt and dismantle organised criminal activity, and our investigations will continue. Officers often rely on the intelligence and information received from members of the community, so I would encourage anyone with any information or concern to contact the police, whether in person, by telephone on 0161 856 4428, online www.gmp.police.uk or anonymously via the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."

Greater Manchester Police targeted speeding and dangerous driving last week (16 to 22 April) in a bid to reduce road deaths and injuries.
In the first four days of this forcewide operation officers have issued 680 Fixed Penalty Notices. 519 of these were for speeding offences, 80 for using a mobile phone while driving and 81 for not wearing seatbelts.
Officers arrested 34 drivers for drink-driving and six for dangerous driving. They also gave verbal warnings and driving advice to hundreds of others for dangerous and poor driving.
The high profile clampdown is part of Operation Dice that was launched earlier this year in response to a staggering 42 per cent increase in road deaths in 2011 when compared to the previous year equating to 75 lives lost on the county’s roads.
Roads policing and local officers have been particularly targeting the ‘fatal four factors’ in road collisions as part of the week of action. These are speeding, drink-driving, drivers and passengers not wearing seatbelts and drivers using mobile phones or being distracted through using in-car entertainment systems.
This week’s clampdown has been organised to coincide with a national speeding operation by all 43 police forces in the UK and a Europe-wide enforcement led by TISPOL the European Traffic Police Network.
Officers warn however that this is not a one-off crack down and that they will be continuing to target dangerous drivers round the clock across Greater Manchester in the coming year.
Penalties for dangerous and careless driving include fines, penalty points, disqualification and up to 14 years imprisonment for causing a death.
Operation Dice’s enforcement work is being supported by a hard-hitting Dicing With Death public awareness campaign featuring blood spattered furry dice that informs people of the 75 road deaths last year and urges them to drive safely.
The campaign also urges people to help reduce road deaths by providing them with information on dangerous drivers, those driving whilst disqualified or while under the influence of alcohol or drugs either directly on 101 the new single non-emergency number or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Chief Inspector Rachel Buckle from Greater Manchester Police Specialist Operations Division said: “Operation Dice is all about safeguarding precious lives and saving family and friends from having to suffer the terrible devastation that losing a loved one brings.
“Death and serious injuries are the real cost of driving dangerously and we want to urge people to seriously consider this every time they get behind the wheel and to drive with due care and consideration to weather and road conditions.
“Speed is a major factor in pedestrian, driver and passenger fatalities. Research clearly shows that pedestrians involved in a 30mph collision generally survive while those hit at 40mph do not.
“Please slow down, make sure that you and all your passengers are wearing seat belts and switch your mobile phone off before your turn your engine on. These three simple actions can help make our roads significantly safer and save families from suffering the anguish of living through the nightmare of losing someone they love.”

Police in Rochdale held a two-day clamp down on illegal drivers last week.
The initiative, which was held by Rochdale South Neighbourhood Policing Team, resulted in one person being arrested. It saw officers using *Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) equipment at checkpoints in south Rochdale.
During the two-days officers identified vehicles reported as stolen and those being driven by uninsured drivers. Vehicle examiners were on hand to check registration plates and identify whether vehicles were registered as stolen or had been cloned. Cloning is a term used to describe a vehicle that has been stolen and then had its identity changed by using false number plates. It resulted in two vehicles being seized for no insurance and 50 fixed penalty notices were issued for various offences.
A device used to check fingerprints was also used on those stopped by police during the day. Officials from the UK Border Agency, HM Revenue and Customs and the council’s environmental health team, supported it.
Inspector Dave Lees said: “The work of the team is just one step to making the roads safer for law abiding people who use them. Our aim is to get uninsured, cloned, stolen or just downright dangerous vehicles off the road and disrupt those who are using the roads in the area for criminal purposes.
“Initiatives like this area great way of showing the public that we are listening to them and are removing the criminals from our streets.”
To report a crime contact Greater Manchester Police on 0161 872 5050 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Operation Clambake on July 18, 2009 in Clearwater, Florida marked the 18th month of peaceful global protests in cities around the world against the malicious cult/corporation of scientology.
In keeping with the clambake theme, Hawaiian shirts, decorations and leis were on hand.
In this recent St. Petersburg Times expose' you can read for yourself how the cult leader David Miscavige encourages and perpetrates fear and violence among the cult's staff, which trickles down to all aspects of scientology:

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":

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."

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.
"Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111

Raids at scrap metal premises across Wigan borough yesterday resulted in copper and lead worth tens of thousands of pounds being seized.
As part of Operation Alloy, four sites were visited by police, the Health and Safety Executive, trading standards officials from Wigan and Salford and asset recovery teams from United Utilities, Electricity North West, Virgin Media and BT Openreach.
Electricity North West recovered cabling and copper conductors worth over £3,000 and BT Openreach seized cable worth around £1,000.
Virgin Media found over 4,000 metres of lead and copper cabling, 160 metres of fibre-optic cabling that could supply around 10,000 properties with a broadband, phone and TV connection, and a similar length of cable used for business telephony systems. The company also seized four batteries used to supply power to temporary traffic lights and telephone junction boxes.
In addition, police arrested two people on suspicion of theft after carrying out roadside checks using automatic number plate recognition equipment.
Chief Inspector Clara Williams of Greater Manchester Police’s Wigan Division said: “Metal theft is not a victimless crime, and we have recently seen an increase in this type of offence corresponding with the increased value of metal. An investigation into who has sold this property to scrap dealers is now underway, and we will prosecute anyone thought to be involved.”

Freshman Learning Community students organize an initiative called "Operation Jackson Street," which helps local homeless veterans staying in the housing facilities at Jackson Street Commons.
Inspector Bryan Hepburn of the Urmston and Partington Neighbourhood Policing Team gives an update on the operation to local council members.
Greater Manchester Police’s Trafford Division, working in partnership with Trafford Council,
has launched Operation Griffin to tackle the area’s most persistent and problematic offenders.
The operation is designed to tackle those who cause the greatest nuisance and harm in their local communities. Police officers and representatives from various agencies are using e a variety of tactics, including investigations into fraud, traffic and vehicle related offences, music and film piracy, electricity abstraction and non payment of fines. All available avenues are being used to deal with offending behaviour.
Chief Superintendent Mark Roberts, Divisional Commander of Greater Manchester Police's Trafford Division, said: "The annual drops in crime and the improvement in our confidence surveys show that, as a partnership, we are making great strides in making the borough a safer place to live, work and visit.
"This is in part due to the excellent working relationship with partner agencies and I am confident that we will continue, via initiatives such as Operation Griffin, to drive down crime and make life difficult for those who choose to flaunt the law."
Trafford Council Leader Matt Colledge said: "The council and its partners are committed to protecting and enhancing the lives of law-abiding citizens within all our local communities. We have worked hard to ensure Trafford is a safe, attractive borough where residents can go about their daily business without fear or anxiety.
"We recognise persistent offenders, if unchallenged, can create significant unease and worry. We will not tolerate this and persistent perpetrators must realise we will be focusing on them and their activities. Through Operation Griffin we will stamp out their illegal, anti social behaviour, using the full force of our combined powers to bring them to task."
