Operation Pyarr by Greater Manchester Police

Six men have been arrested after raids this morning in Bury and Tameside.

Today (Tuesday 17 October 2017) GMP officers searched a number of properties in Bury, Tameside and Cheetham Hill as part of an investigation into the unlawful sale of medicine and controlled drugs online.

Code-named Operation Pyarr, several million pounds worth of pharmaceutical drugs have been seized in today’s investigation into the multi-million pound international fraud operation.

The investigation has been carried out by the Medicine and Healthcare products Regulatory Authority who are responsible for ensuring that medicines and medical devices are acceptably safe, in conjunction with Bury Police and the Police Service of Northern Ireland.

A total of six men were arrested on suspicion of supplying Class C drugs and remain in police custody for questioning.

Detective Chief Inspector Charlotte Cadden of GMP’s Bury Borough, said: “We have spent the past few months identifying where the public are able to get hold of these controlled drugs, and uncovering who is responsible.

“From our investigation, it is clear that this is a comprehensive operation, with genuine pharmaceuticals being unlawfully removed from the supply chain in the UK and then sold, illegally, online.

“While we have made arrests, we are continuing with our investigation and are committed to finding those who facilitate the supply of illegal substances in Greater Manchester.

“I’m asking for the public to continue to report anything suspicious to the police, and ensure that we can look after the public who are taken in by drugs that they believe are legal.”

Anyone with information should contact police on 101 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

Operation Washout-20 by Office of Public Affairs

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.

Operation Vulcan Warrants by Greater Manchester Police

1

In the early hours of the morning (Thursday 27 July), Operation Vulcan, supported by GMP Tactical Aid Unit, executed two warrants in Cheetham Hill at a suspected badging factory and a residential address.

Inside the units believed to be responsible for mass producing counterfeit items, police found a number of machines which are used to affix counterfeit designer logos onto unbranded items.

Police also seized a number of items consistent with a substantial counterfeit operation – including large quantities of counterfeit clothes, 1000s of branded badges ready to be attached to clothing and handbags, cash, vapes, and machinery.

A 36-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of trademark offences. He remains in police custody for questioning.

Sergeant Dan Cullum, one of Operation Vulcan’s specialist officers said: “Whilst there may be less of an appetite for counterfeit clothing on the streets of Cheetham Hill following relentless police and partner activity, we are acutely aware there is still an online demand. That’s why pursuing those responsible for mass producing these counterfeit items continues to be a top priority for Operation Vulcan.

“We’ve said it before, but I’d like to take this chance to remind members of the public to remain vigilant when shopping. You may think you’re getting a bargain when buying fake clothing, but it’s a bargain built on exploitation and further criminality. That handbag or pair of shoes is at the end of a long chain of misery that is lining the pockets of some very nasty and ruthless individuals involved in drugs trafficking, forced labour and violent crime.”
