Operation Alliance - Special Constabulary at Work by Greater Manchester Police

5 1

Officers of Greater Manchester Police’s Special Constabulary took the lead in the final phase of a major operation in Salford last week.

Operation Alliance was a week of action to target offenders and involved a number of different teams, with the added support of the Salford Division’s special constables. The operation was undertaken after extensive research and used information from members of the public and partner agencies to target offenders in Salford.

Inspector Mark Davis said: "The operation culminated in a night of action on Friday 5 October with some excellent results. There were 39 members of staff involved in the operation, 26 of these were specials based at Salford. We focused on arresting wanted offenders and offender targeting teams completed curfew checks for breaches of bail. We had a number of positive results and were also able to develop the information we have on offenders.

"We also provided live time Twitter updates of our actions as they happened."

"I urge the community to let the police know of any information, no matter how small, that may assist in bringing offenders to justice by ringing 101 or calling the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously on 0800 555 111."

Operation Chicago by Greater Manchester Police

A massive operation across Rochdale this morning saw 18 organised crime suspects swept to custody as part of an ongoing investigation into a number of violent incidents in the town recently.

Around 100 officers from across the Force targeted 15 addresses in the Rochdale and Heywood areas, where 15 men and two women were detained - the 18th suspect was arrested at Forest Bank prison.

The dozen-plus doors were targeted as part of Operation Chicago - a wide-ranging investigation spearheaded by detectives from the town's Challenger team tackling serious and organised crime.

Investigators have been probing various violent incidents between two feuding groups - including conspiracy to murder, violent disorder, the possession of weapons, and the supply of class A and B drugs.

This includes a machete attack on Bentley Street in October that left a man in his 20s with life-changing injuries.

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.

Operation Factor by Greater Manchester Police

Four men have been arrested in connection with the sexual exploitation of vulnerable young girls in Bury between 2006 and 2009.

The arrests were made on Wednesday24 May and Thursday 25 May 2023 during a series of warrants at properties in the Elton, Moorside and Eastern areas of Bury.

The suspects are between the ages of 36 and 44. The 44-year-old man is a former police officer. They all remain in police custody for questioning.

Two men, aged 35 and 41, have previously been arrested in connection with this investigation and are currently on bail pending further investigations.

Bury District Commander, Chief Superintendent Chris Hill said: “I commend the bravery and strength of any victim in coming forward and supporting police enquiries. The passage of time does not affect our dedication to ensuring they are listened to, placed at the very heart of operations and supported by specialist services for as long as they need.

“The report which resulted in the launch of this investigation initiated a multi-agency response. Officers have completed extensive enquiries to identify and locate suspects - this work is ongoing. They are also working with partner agencies, including Bury Council, to ensure any necessary safeguarding action is taken.

“What follows these arrests is a lengthy investigation to ensure that all involved are identified and that evidence of criminality is referred to the Crown Prosecution Service. Our message is clear – if you believe that you are a victim of child sexual exploitation or have something else to tell us which relates to this investigation, please report it.”

Detective Chief Inspector Dave Jones, of GMP’s Professional Standards Branch, said: “It is, obviously, extremely concerning that one of the suspects is a former police officer, who was employed by GMP until 2011. The Professional Standards Branch is supporting the investigation team and ensuring the correct processes and procedures are followed.”

The investigation team can be contacted via 0161 856 8633 or via the Live Chat function at gmp.police.uk, quoting Operation Factor. Anonymous reports can be made via the independent charity – Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Dawn raids saw six people arrested by police as part of an investigation into gas explosion cash machine attacks.

A further person was arrested for unrelated drug offences.

This morning (Wednesday 26 June 2019) officers executed warrants at nine addresses as part of Operation Benson – launched in response to incidents involving the theft of money from ATMs.

Warrants were executed by GMP at Oldham Road, Uxbridge Street and Garden Walk in Ashton-under-Lyne, as well as on Robinson Street, Caroline Street and Handley Close in Stockport.

The action was supported by the North West Regional Organised Crime Unit – Disruption Team.

Further warrants were executed on Woodlands Close, Tintwistle and Lea Fold, Solihull by Derbyshire Police and West Midlands Police respectively on behalf of GMP.

Police arrested:-

A 30-year-old man for conspiracy to cause an explosion likely to endanger life and conspiracy to burgle.

A 34-year-old man for conspiracy to cause an explosion likely to endanger life and conspiracy to burgle.

A 30-year-old man for conspiracy to cause an explosion likely to endanger life and conspiracy to burgle.

A 28-year-old man for conspiracy to cause an explosion likely to endanger life and conspiracy to burgle.

A 30-year-old woman for conspiracy to burgle and money laundering.

Detective Sergeant Phil Kennedy said: “Thanks to the excellent work of our officers; colleagues within other force areas and SaferCash partners, we have been able to bring six people into custody this morning.

“Additionally, we have a further person in custody for drugs offences.

“These raids came as the result of extensive intelligence gathering and show our determination in dismantling organised crime networks who commit these kinds of crimes.

“Today’s operation is a response to various types of ATM attacks– including those which use gas explosions to access monies, endangering the lives of anyone caught nearby.

“While the vast majority of people in Greater Manchester work hard for their rewards in life, a small minority think it acceptable to try and shortcut their way via acts of criminality.

“We will do everything in our power to catch and prosecute organised criminals whose offending blights our communities.

“If you believe someone to be involved in criminality, contact police immediately. Your actions will help prevent innocent people becoming the victims of crime.”

More than 20 raids were carried out in the early hours of Thursday 10 September 2015, in areas across Bolton including Halliwell, Breightmet and Stoneclough, organised by officers from Bolton’s Operation Challenger team, which is a specialist team targeting those involved in organised criminal activity.

More than 200 officers from various units across GMP were involved in the raids, in which 13 men have been arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of drugs. A man and a woman were also arrested on suspicion of possession of cannabis. Another man was arrested on suspicion of obstructing a police officer.

They have been taken into police custody and will be questioned by detectives later today.

Quantities of cannabis and cocaine were recovered from several addresses and a firearm was seized from a property in Halliwell.

Superintendent Andrea Jones from GMP’s Bolton division said: “This morning’s arrests are the result of the community standing shoulder to shoulder with the police to take a strong stance against those involved in drug related activity in Bolton.

“The warrants carried out today are just the first phase of this operation, which will now see us working with local partner agencies including housing, licensing, revenue and customs and other departments to see if people are in breach of local authority housing agreements, benefit fraud, business licenses etc.

“The work of organised crime groups is constantly changing in their attempt to stay ahead of the police, and Operation Challenger sees GMP working together with other agencies to tackle serious and organised crime, so that all aspect of criminals’ lives are targeted, making it much harder for organised crime groups to operate.

“We cannot do this alone though and we need the public’s support to continue to provide us with information about illegal activity in their neighbourhood. I would like to thank our communities across Bolton for their support so far and assure people that this is not just a one off in tackling those blighting our night time economy in the town centre and surrounding areas.”

Programme Challenger was launched in Greater Manchester in 2012 and has become internationally recognised as a good model of effective organised crime policing. The operation has now been launched in Bolton and through collaboration with partner agencies and the general public, Challenger uses various intelligence-led methods to disrupt and dismantle organised crime groups across Bolton and Greater Manchester.

Anyone with information that they wish to pass to the Operation Challenger team in Bolton is asked to contact police on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously with information on 0800 555 111.
