Dawn raids saw seven people arrested as part of a crackdown on the supply of drugs in Bury.
This morning (Thursday 6 June 2019) a team of officers executed warrants at properties across five addresses in the Heywood and Bury areas.
The warrants were part of Operation Ballerina – set up by GMP to target those believed to be involved in the supply of Class A drugs across Bury.
Four men – aged 26, 65, 58, 22 and 34 – and one woman – aged 28 - have all been arrested on suspicion of supply of Class A drugs.
A 17-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of possession of Class B drugs.
Officers seized a substantial amount of class B drugs across the properties.
Superintendent Paul Walker, of GMP’s Bury district, said: “We absolutely do not tolerate the supply of drugs, and we will continue to take action if there is any suspicion of offences being committed in Greater Manchester.
“Thanks to the speedy actions of officers this morning, a significant amount of drugs destined for our streets have been seized.
“Operation Ballerina is very much ongoing, and we are continuing to crack down on the supply of drugs across Bury and the wider region.
"Our most powerful tool in the fight against drugs is the information we receive from the community. If you suspect drugs are being used or cultivated in your area, we urge you to get in touch with the police as soon as you can."
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 0161 856 9023, or anonymously via the independent charity Crimestoppers, on 0800 555 111.

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 is leading the way in a new North West crackdown on armed robberies, following the Force’s major success over the past year, resulting in 33 offenders being convicted and sentenced to a total of 204 years.
These excellent results have been achieved thanks to Vanguard, GMP’s operation aimed at reducing armed robberies, and have made a significant contribution to the 58 per cent reduction in the number of cash-in-transit (CIT) attacks across the North West during 2010.
The North West will become a no-go area for armed robbers in the run up to Christmas as officers from Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Merseyside, Lancashire, Cumbria and North Wales will work with the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) to safeguard commercial and financial businesses, along with CIT vehicles during their delivery and pick-up times.
“The success we’ve had in arresting and convicting so many offenders should be a warning to anyone thinking of committing this type of crime - there is no hiding place for them and they risk spending Christmas behind bars. The fact that so many key offenders have been locked up across Greater Manchester in the last year due to the successful work of Vanguard, means that the number of CIT robberies has dramatically reduced,” said Detective Chief Inspector Pat McKelvey, from Greater Manchester Police’s Vanguard team.
“However, there are still too many innocent victims suffering at the hands of criminals who do not hesitate to use violence. With Christmas approaching – traditionally one of the busiest times of year for this type of crime - we are determined to keep our communities safer by targeting, deterring and disrupting criminals who carry out CIT attacks and robberies of commercial and financial premises.”
A variety of tactics will be used to prevent these robberies, including armed police vehicles escorting high-risk security vehicles as they carry out cash deliveries; the use of overt and covert CCTV monitoring; patrol cars following cash-handling vehicles; plus all cash containers will include either Smartwater or a dye, which will be released if opened illegally.
In addition, the Force helicopter will shadow the vehicles from the air during collections or deliveries, enabling any activity to be monitored. While all North West police forces will continue to share intelligence and provide assistance for cross-border deliveries.
Detective Chief Inspector Pat McKelvey concludes: “I would like to stress that this is a devastating and often violent crime that can cause deep distress for the victims. Without key information from the public we wouldn’t be able to remove these offenders from the street. Therefore, we would ask the public to be vigilant and if anyone has any information to help us catch those responsible, please call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
Vanguard is committed to making the security and commercial industries safer places to work by tackling offenders on the streets, in the courts and in our communities.

Three people have been arrested following dawn raids aimed at disrupting the supply of drugs and the criminal exploitation of vulnerable adults in Manchester.
Shortly after 6am this morning (Friday 15 March) officers executed search warrants at six addresses in the Beswick area of Manchester.
Three men, two aged 18 and one aged 22 were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply Class A drugs and engaging in human trafficking for the purpose of criminal exploitation.
The arrests were made as part of Operation Fosbury, an ongoing investigation being led by the City of Manchester Complex Safeguarding Hub into the exploitation of vulnerable adults and children within the Beswick area.
The new multi-agency team* which includes specialist detectives from GMP, has been established to combat the increasing risk of vulnerable people, particularly young people, being sexually and criminally exploited.
Detective Inspector Andy Buckthorpe from GMP’s Complex Safeguarding hub said: “Our aim is to target and disrupt those individuals who seek to exploit children and vulnerable adults and we will take every opportunity to target and prosecute offenders.
“This particular investigation focuses on helping vulnerable people who we believe have been exploited and forced to drug deals in other areas of the UK in what is widely known as ‘County Lines’ offending.
“As a result of the investigation, we have been able to identify a number of vulnerable people within the Manchester area who have been exploited in the most horrendous way by organised criminals and they will now receive bespoke multi-agency support.”
Criminal exploitation or ‘Trapped’ as it is referred to across Greater Manchester is a form of criminal exploitation that sees offenders use children or vulnerable people for the purposes of selling drugs.
They could be trafficked around the local area, or taken to areas with no obvious links or connections and this often involves the victim being subjected to deception, intimidation, violence, financial exploitation and grooming.
Are you being made to commit crime on behalf of someone else? Are you fearful for yourself or your family’s safety? Find out more at: www.programmechallenger.co.uk/Trapped
Anyone with concerns either about themselves or somebody else can contact the police via the LiveChat facility on the GMP website or 101 in a non-emergency situation.
You can also report details anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Always dial 999 when there is an emergency or an immediate threat to life.

Police in Bury have arrested nine people following drugs warrants in the east area of the town this morning (13/6/12).
Dozens of officers were involved in the raids, including specialist officers from GMP’s tactical aid and dogs units, as well as divisional and neighbourhood officers.
The raids were watched by several members of the community and councillors, who were invited along so they could witness first-hand how police are putting a stop to drugs activity in their neighbourhood.
Drugs workers were also available throughout the day to offer services to any prisoners that currently use drugs and who may want help to stop.
The warrants were carried out following months of intelligence gathering, after officers received reports of drug dealing in and around the Manchester Road Park area.
Chief Superintendent Jon Rush, divisional commander at Bury said: “Today’s arrests are just the start of a new ongoing operation to tackle the sale and supply of drugs across our borough.
“Drugs are a major driving force behind many other crimes such as burglary, robbery and vehicle crime, and that is why cracking down on those involved in this industry is a big priority for police in Bury.
"Today’s strikes have taken weeks of planning and will have caused significant disruption to the users and suppliers of illegal drugs in Bury.
With the public’s help, this work will continue.
“Let today be a warning to anyone involved in drug dealing in Bury that not only will you end up behind bars, but through Proceeds of Crime Act legislation, you will also end up out of pocket."
Anyone with information about those involved in drug-related activity in their area should call police at Bury, in confidence if needed, on 101 or contact Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111. Crimestoppers is an independent charity who will not want your name, just your information. Your call will not be traced or recorded and you do not have to go to court or give a statement.

A Tameside policing operation has cracked down on ASB with proactive patrols tackling everything from drug use to problematic street drinking.
A proactive policing operation was launched in June, with funding providing extra patrols across Ashton-under-Lyne and surrounding areas identified as having repeat offences, including local transport hubs and shopping spots.
Officers target these areas at peak times and further undertake disruption visits to pre-emptively stop incidents.
The operation has seen a crackdown and multiple actions and positive outcomes. July, August, and September saw a range of results in Ashton town centre, including 12 arrests, 28 stop-searches, 33 public space protection order warnings issued, and 30 logs responded to.
As an example of the reduction in quarter three of this year, August reported 30 incidents of ASB, while September recorded 10 – showing the positive effects of the ongoing work.
The operation has meant more patrols have been targeting the issues that the public care about and ensuring that criminals and anti-social behaviour are stopped in their tracks.
Tameside work.
As part of anti-social behaviour week, on Wednesday, neighbourhood officers in Ashton town centre secured two arrests on suspicion of possession of a Class B drug, which resulted in street cautions.
Further cautions were issued for someone smoking cannabis in public, while other people were provided with words of advice.
Sergeant Rob Froggatt, from GMP’s Tameside district, said: “People want to see officers out and about in the community, engaging with the public, and locking up those who disrupt their lives. Our operation is delivering exactly that.
“We know and appreciate just how much anti-social behaviour can disrupt people’s lives – whether it’s people taking drugs in public or intimidating people in town centres – and our work is designed to crack down on exactly those sort of offences.
“In addition to our own work, we liaise closely with partners in the community, including local charities and services, to ensure we stop ASB from progressing into more serious offences. Likewise, by conducting preventative engagement work, we can stop the offences from ever happening.
“If you are having issues with ASB, I would urge you to get in touch with your local team, who will be best-placed to offer advice and support on the issues you are having.”

Operation AVRO is a forcewide initiative that delivers a surge of extra resources and specialist officers to a different district within Greater Manchester each month.
This month saw the operation return to Wigan.
The operation targets crimes that members of the public in that district have told us give them the most concern.
Members of the press and key partners, including local representatives, are invited to attend Operation AVRO deployments to see results first-hand and conduct important multi-agency work, such as welfare visits.
More details on AVRO can be found by visiting gmp.police.uk and following us on social media.
You should call 101, the national non-emergency number, to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response.
Always call 999 in an emergency, such as when a crime is in progress, violence is being used or threatened or where there is danger to life.
You can also call anonymously with information about crime to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Crimestoppers is an independent charity who will not want your name, just your information. Your call will not be traced or recorded and you do not have to go to court or give a statement.
You can access many of our services online at www.gmp.police.uk
