Greater Manchester Police have today, Monday 19th of September, carried out a series of raids as part of Operation Azuma, a police investigation into burglaries in Oldham, Rochdale, Tameside, Stockport and North Manchester.
The operation, which began with a large-scale briefing, saw officers visiting addresses in the early hours of the morning.
So far, 16 people have been arrested for a variety of suspected offences, including firearms offences, burglary, handling stolen property, conspiracy to commit burglary, theft of motor vehicles, possession of Class A and B drugs with intent to supply and cultivating cannabis.
During the searches, officers recovered up to £150,000 worth of stolen cars taken during burglaries, a pistol and ammunition, Class A and B drugs, a cannabis farm and stolen property, some of which is suspected to have been taken during the disorder in Greater Manchester last month.
North Manchester Divisional Commander, Chief Superintendent Russ Jackson said: “This operation is an example of our continued fight to reduce burglary right across Greater Manchester.
“Burglars who target people’s homes remain very much at the top of our list of priorities, as we see first-hand the untold misery and distress they cause. We are intent on finding all of those who are committing burglary and hopefully the arrests made today, will have an impact on the amount of burglaries taking place across Greater Manchester.
“This is only the first wave of raids, and those involved in burglary or trading stolen goods should beware, because the next door we come through may be yours.”
"We will continue to listen to and support our local residents and will aim to keep people informed of the work we are doing where they live. Members of the community can also contact their neighbourhood policing teams by phone, email or by arranging to visit their local officers.”
Anyone with information about burglary should call their local neighbourhood policing team or call the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Detectives across Greater Manchester have made six further arrests this morning (13 January) as part of the continued investigation into the criminal use of encrypted communication services.
At around 6am today, officers from GMP's Serious and Organised Crime Group (SOCG) executed five warrants at properties across Cadishead, Worsley and Whitefield.
Four men, aged between 27 and 42, and two women, aged 27 and 30, were arrested on suspicion of a range of offences, including money laundering, conspiracy to supply class A drugs and firearm offences.
Cash, cannabis and high value assets including jewellery and electronic devices were also seized during property searches.
They all remain in custody for questioning by detectives.
Today's action formed part of Operation Goodwin; an investigation into an organised crime group involved in the large scale supply of class A drugs and firearms within Greater Manchester and the UK.
Op Goodwin forms one part of GMP's strand of the National Crime Agency (NCA) led Operation Venetic.
Launched in July 2020 by the NCA, Operation Venetic brought together nearly ever law enforcement agency across the UK, focusing on the takedown of 'Encrochat' - a sophisticated encrypted communications service - often used by organised criminal groups.
Since its inception GMP has launched multiple investigations into the activity of numerous organised criminal groups and this has seen 216 people arrested, with 170 of those charged with a range of drug, money and firearm offences.
Detectives have also been successful in seizing over £2million in cash, numerous high-value assets and multi-kilos of both class A and B drugs.
Detective Inspector, Justin Bryant of GMP's Serious and Organised Crime Group said: "Today's action, arrests and seizures are yet another positive step forward in our continuing commitment to tackle the activity of organised criminal groups across Greater Manchester.
"The takedown of the encrypted Encrochat communication services has allowed us a deeper and more personal insight into the world that these people operate in and since 2020 we've been working tirelessly to decipher messages and identify all those involved in this activity.
"The mammoth operation has seen over 200 arrests made so far and I have no doubt that these figures will continue to rise throughout 2022 as we continue in our fight against this type of criminality, removing those involved from our streets.
"These individuals may feel untouchable, but I hope these figures clearly demonstrate that GMP, alongside the NCA and other law enforcement agencies, will ensure the law soon catches up with them."

A new joint operation - called Operation Vortex - has gotten underway today (Wednesday 19 January 2022) in Oldham to crack down on vehicle crime and traffic offences in the district.
The Tactical Vehicle Intercept Unit, along with officers from GMP's Safer Transport Team and officers across the Oldham District, worked along the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency at a static base in Chadderton, stopping a number of vehicles either committing traffic offences, or vehicle crime.
Two men arrested, one on suspicion of driving while under the influence of drugs, and one for driving while disqualified and remain in custody for questioning, ten vehicles have been seized for being driven with no insurance, and one stolen vehicle has been recovered.
In addition, officers also reported 35 traffic offences for a range of driving offences.
Chief Superintendent Mark Dexter from GMP's Specialist Operations said: "This will become a regular operation across Greater Manchester, where we will strive to make our communities and roads safer, tackling illegal vehicles which we know that are all too often used in crime and cause harm and misery on the roads.
"I hope this sends a strong message to anyone thinking of breaking the law on our roads, that we are watching, and we won't hesitate to take action to remove you and your vehicle from the road."

A VIS deep-cover asset, codenamed Sapphire, had been compromised and captured by the rebel militia known as the Ligeria Liberation Army (LLA). Intelligence pinpointed Sapphire’s location at a house near the Ligeria-Nagonia border region. Due to Sapphire’s extensive knowledge of the LLA, a low-visibility rescue mission was authorized.
Team 7 was tasked with executing the rescue operation. After receiving their mission brief and formulating a plan, the team began preparing their gear and equipment for the mission. Each operator meticulously checked their weapons and communications gear to ensure everything was in perfect working order. Ammunition was distributed, and medical kits were stocked.
With every detail accounted for, Team 7 launched the high-risk rescue mission. Before departing, the team took a quick photo to mark the occasion.
