This morning, Thursday 2 February 2017, officers executed warrants at addresses across Miles Platting and Ancoats.
The warrants were executed as part of Operation Rudow a multi-agency operation targeting organised crime and the supply of drugs across Greater Manchester.
Chief Inspector Andy Cunliffe, of GMP’s City of Manchester team, said: "Drugs ruin lives and destroy communities. We will systematically root out and dismantle groups that seek to profit from flooding our streets with drugs.
"Today, we have made arrests after executing warrants across North Manchester.
"By sharing information with our partners, we are better equipped to tackle organised crime and make it impossible for them to profit from it.
"I'd like to thank the community who came forward with information that has proved vital in making this enforcement action a success.
“We still however, need people to come forward with information to prevent people from benefiting from the proceeds of crime at the demise of others. If you know about it, report it.
"Organised crime has no place on the streets of Greater Manchester and we will continue to work tirelessly to remove the scourge of criminal gangs."
Anyone with information should contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

Operation Night Watch is the largest and most wide-ranging research and conservation project in the history of Rembrandt’s masterpiece. The goal of Operation Night Watch is the long-term preservation of the painting.
Yesterday, Wednesday 5 June 2013, over 120 officers from Lancashire, Merseyside, Cheshire and Greater Manchester Police, took part in a day of action to reduce criminality on the roads and improve road safety.
The operation, commanded by Superintendent Thompson and coordinated by Greater Manchester Police, saw vehicle check sites set up in Lancashire, Cheshire and Merseyside force areas, supported by partners from the Environment Agency, Trading Standards, RSPCA, VOSA and HMRC.
GMP's Anpr Intercept, Traffic Enforcement teams and Road Policing units conducted enforcement throughout the region, supported by Traffic PCSO's.
Officers from GMP's Tactical Aid and Tactical Dog Units were deployed at the sites to provide specialist search capability.
Highways Agency staff also supported the operation by providing assistance to officers and distributing road safety leaflets to motorists.
The operation generated a large volume of media interest, resulting in the several interviews being provided by Superintendent Thompson and Chief Inspector Buckle to ITV National and Regional News, Crime Watch Road Show and a number of local radio stations.
The day saw over 300 vehicles stopped, 7 offenders arrested for a variety of offences including, possession of a controlled drug with intent to supply, assault and theft of two motor vehicles.
192 motorists were breathalysed, contributing to the ACPO national drink drive campaign, 223 motorists dealt with under Road Traffic Act legislation and 19 vehicles seized for being driven without insurance, licence or in an anti social manner.

Thirteen suspected members of a prolific south Manchester organised crime group have been arrested by Greater Manchester Police, today, 26 March, 2015.
Following a four-month investigation into the activities of a suspected OCG operating in the south Manchester area, police have today executed a series of warrants across Manchester.
As a result, 12 men and one woman have been arrested in connection with a string of offences, including ram raids, burglaries, and vehicle crime. The thirteen people have been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to steal and conspiracy to handle stolen property and remain in custody for questioning.
The raids were executed under the banner of Operation Ingot which was set up to tackle the activities of the suspected OCG. Some of the victims of those crimes accompanied officers on the raids so they could see the suspected offenders being arrested and put into the back of police vans.
Cash, mobile phones and stolen property have been seized after the raids.
As part of the operation but not directly connected to the overall investigation, a further three arrests were also made today – a man for possession of a stun gun, another man for possession of drugs and a woman for assisting an offender.
To date, officers believe this OCG may be responsible for up to 50 crimes between July and December of last year, during which more than £400,000 worth of goods have been stolen from innocent members of numerous communities.
Detective Sergeant Alan Hamlin said: "This operation has been four months in the making and is a result of a lengthy investigation into the activities of a suspected organised criminal network - based in south Manchester - that has been causing real heartache and misery in Greater Manchester and beyond its borders.
"Clearly I cannot go into too much detail at this stage given we have made so many arrests, but we believe members of the gang may be responsible for up to 40 crimes including burglaries, ram raids and the supply of drugs.
"As a result, many innocent and law-abiding people have fallen victim to this gang, losing not only money and goods worth up to £400,000 but also being put through huge emotional strain.
"I hope today's action shows those who have been victims of this gang that we will use every available weapon we and other agencies have to disrupt and dismantle these organised criminal networks.
"We know all too well from speaking to residents how destructive and pernicious these gangs can be, and the corrosive effect they can have in our communities. We also know that the answers to tackling organised crime lie in the communities where these people operate, so I would continue to ask residents to take a stand with us and together we can bring about real change.
"These are your communities. They belong to you, not the criminal gangs who try and rule with an iron fist. I want today's action to give residents the confidence that things are different and you can come forward. If you tell us what action needs taking, then through your local police officers and the local authority, we will take it and together we will dismantle these criminal networks."

A McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) CF-18 Hornet (official military designation CF-188) (S/N 188750) sits on the tarmac awaiting its next mission during Operation IMPACT in Kuwait on February 5, 2015.
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.”

RICHMOND, Virginia – A weeklong, large-scale gang enforcement operation, labeled “Operation Washout” wrapped up on May 24, resulting in 90 arrests of alleged violent offenders and fugitives.
The U.S. Marshals Service led multiple federal, state and local law enforcement agencies working around the clock May 20-24, concentrating their efforts primarily on known gang members wanted in the Richmond and Tri-Cities areas. Of the 90 arrests, 22 were documented gang members. Many other arrests were of suspected gang members or associates. Additional state and federal prosecutions are pending on those arrested where drug, gun or other crime evidence was seized during or subsequent to the person’s arrest.
The U.S. Marshals Service’s national fugitive initiative known as Operation Washout is deployed to local communities to bring immediate relief from violent, gang-related crime. The collaborative law enforcement effort is focused on targeting and arresting violent fugitives wanted for high-profile crimes such as homicide, felony assault and sexual assault, illegal possession of firearms, illegal drug distribution, robbery and arson.

On Wednesday (22 November 2022) officers from the Operation Vulcan team were out in full force in Cheetham Hill and Strangeways as part of GMP’s vehicle safety initiative, Operation Vortex, which aims to disrupt and deny criminal use of the road network, by all means possible.
For too long, criminals have blighted the area of Cheetham Hill and Strangeways, living lavish lifestyles from the proceeds of their crimes at the expense of vulnerable victims who are being taken advantage of.
This operation links in closely with Operation Vulcan, which is dedicated to ridding Cheetham Hill and Strangeways of criminal activity and bringing about real, sustainable change, making it an environment people are proud to live and work in.
Also in attendance to offer intelligence and support were a number of GMP partners, including representatives from Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency, Immigration Enforcement, Waste Enforcement, Manchester City Council Enforcement, and HMP Manchester.
A multi-agency approach is crucial to this operations success, with support from partner organisations ensuring that GMP can target every level of criminal activity, whilst also ensuring vulnerable people in the community are supported.
The day delivered an array of fantastic results:
6 arrests made on suspicion of driving whilst under the influence of drugs, possession of a bladed article, driving whilst disqualified and possession of class A drugs
32 stop searches
67 traffic offences detected and prosecuted
33 speed offences prosecuted
26 vehicle seizures
31 parking fines issued
32 PG9 (prohibition for unroadworthy vehicles) offences prosecuted
5 care plan referrals for drug users encountered
£1700 of fixed penalty notices
Operation Vulcan is dedicated to protecting and safeguarding the most vulnerable people in the community who are being exploited by those in criminal gangs. Throughout the day, specialist officers engaged with a variety of people, explaining that help is there for them, whether it be from GMP officers or partner agencies.
Inspector Andrew Torkington, one of GMP’s specialist officers involved in Operation Vulcan said, “There’s been a real buzz in the community throughout the day with lots of high visibility patrols and community engagement.
“The feedback from members of the community, local college students, and legitimate business owners has been overwhelmingly positive, with many sharing that they feel much safer with our presence.
“Best of all was the large-scale disruption and inconvenience our presence caused to the illegitimate businesses in Cheetham Hill who were unable to open their shutters. This day of action wasn’t a one off – Operation Vulcan is here to stay.”
Ian Bain, DVSA’s Head of Enforcement Delivery said: “Road users have a responsibility to make sure their vehicles are safe, roadworthy and comply with legislation.
“We’re really pleased to be working in partnership with Greater Manchester Police helping to keep the community safe.
“We will continue to target and engage with anyone who breaks the rules and puts the public and other drivers at risk.”

Six people have been arrested after an operation to tackle the violent theft of jewellery in Stockport.
Operation Monument was set up by Greater Manchester Police to target those suspected of being involved in a series of violent burglaries in Stockport.
The break-ins have been committed at the homes of predominately Asian families with the specific intent of stealing gold jewellery.
During a number of these burglaries the families themselves have been subjected to extreme and unprovoked levels of violence, with offenders using weapons such as knives, bats and crowbars to attack their victims.
Today, Thursday 11 December 2014, Greater Manchester Police carried out ten warrants in the Tameside, North Manchester and Stockport areas of Greater Manchester following an investigation to identify those responsible for these violent burglaries.
As a result, five people have been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit burglary and robbery and remain in police custody for questioning.
One person has also been arrested on suspicion of possessing Class A drugs with intent to supply.
As part of the raids, officers have seized a number of vehicles, including off-road motorcycles, some Class A drugs and several thousand pounds in cash.
Detective Sergeant John O’Driscoll from Stockport, said: “Today's action demonstrates our ongoing commitment to dismantling criminals involved in these violent robberies.
“We are aware that there has been a recent spike in incidents where predominately Asian families have been targeted in their own homes and gold jewellery stolen, these criminals are having a serious impact on the Asian community with people no longer feeling safe at home.
"What today is all about is taking a stand against these offenders and sending out a message that we will not allow innocent members of our communities to be terrorised in this way and we will identify those responsible and bring them to justice.
"There are a number of steps we would advise people take to protect themselves against this type of crime. For instance, keeping your jewellery in a safety deposit box at your local bank rather than in your home, or if you would prefer to keep the jewellery at home invest in a good quality safe which complies with official insurance rating standards and is secured to a wall or to the floor.
"Other more simple steps include double-locking your doors and windows, use timer switches on lamps to give the impression somebody is at home or keep a light on in the evening when you leave, consider installing alarms and 'dusk to dawn' security lighting or installing CCTV cameras outside your home."

The convoy leaves Bolton Police Station.
An initiative to strengthen community spirit and tackle crime in Halliwell was launched this week by police and Bolton Council.
Operation Viking, which will run for 12 weeks, will see more officers working in the area and focusing in particular on those who trade in stolen goods.
To mark the launch of the operation, raids were carried out at addresses in Halliwell and other areas of the town, resulting in 8 arrests.
Reassurance leaflets were delivered to neighbouring premises and households as the raids were executed, and messages were sent out on Twitter to inform people what was happening.
Following the raids a community event was staged at the ‘Cop Shop’ mobile police station in the heart of the area.
The event was attended by key members of the Viking team, including local police officers, the council’s community safety team and local council members, and allowed residents and businesses to talk to those involved and ask questions about the initiative.
The community safety team handed out crime prevention materials and newsletters focusing on Halliwell, and community volunteers were on hand to inform people about the work they do. Police mascot ‘Pippa the Panda’ was also available to hand out stickers and balloons to children.
Chief Inspector Carol Martin, who is leading on Operation Viking, said: “This fresh injection of officers is intended to support the good work that is already being done in Halliwell by the local neighbourhood policing team. As well as working closely with the council, we want the community to get involved by offering solutions to problems, or by approaching us with any information about criminal activity.
“It is vital that we work together to drive down crime in the area, and I would urge people to always say no if they are offered stolen goods, as there is a victim behind each one. Finally, I have a simple message for anyone selling such items – we are committed to rooting out offenders, and we will use all our powers to bring you to justice.”

The convoy sets off towards the many suspects' homes.
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.
