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.

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.

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.”

Officers examined 50 vehicles as part of a crackdown on illegal motorists and those suspected of being involved in metal theft.
Operation Alloy took place on Thursday 9 July 2015 on Liverpool Road, Irlam and divisional officers were joined by HMRC, DVSA, Trading Standards and specialist GMP resources including ANPR Intercept staff.
A total of 17 motorists were dealt with for offences ranging from tyre defects and excess weight to driving without insurance or licence.
Motorists received a mixture of traffic offence reports, summons and fixed penalty notices, and two cars were seized.
PC Paul Ashworth from the Salford Division of Greater Manchester Police said: “We’ve seen a significant decrease in the number of metal theft offences but this doesn’t mean we’ve become complacent and we continue to deter and disrupt those we suspect may be involved in criminal activity with operations such as this one.
“It is unacceptable for anybody to drive around in a vehicle that is not fit for purpose, especially when it is being used for professional purposes. It compromises safety on the roads, something which we take very seriously indeed.”

Greater Manchester Police officers made 24 arrests, seized three stolen motorcycles and uncovered a cannabis farm after a series of raids were launched on Wednesday 9 September 2015.
More than 200 officers executed warrants at 25 addresses in the continued crackdown on serious organised crime in Salford under Project Gulf. Gulf is part of Programme Challenger, the Greater Manchester approach to tackling organised criminality across the region.
The raids are the result of an intelligence-led operation conducted over a number of months by the Serious Crime Division, into offences such as supplying firearms and drugs. Searches at a number of properties are still ongoing.
Deputy Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said:
“Today’s raids have been a great success for the force, its partners and most importantly, the communities of Salford.
“The fight against serious organised crime in Greater Manchester is stronger than ever, thanks to round-the-clock disruption under Programme Challenger and our specialist divisional teams such as Project Gulf, who work on the ground to detect and destroy this criminality.
“Rest assured this is not a one-off, this is a sustained campaign to protect vulnerable people and bring those who exploit them to justice.
“We have not, and will not, reduce our commitment to targeting serious organised crime in Salford. We will continue to use all of the powers and information available to us and our partners to locate this criminality and put a stop to it for good.”
Greater Manchester Police and Crime Commissioner Tony Lloyd said:
“Today’s action sends a strong and clear message to criminals that we will not allow them to instil fear in our communities – you will be hunted down and you will be brought to justice.
“This builds on the positive work to tackle organised crime across Salford, bringing together police, council, other agencies, and, importantly, residents who are proud of where they live. I urge local people to continue to support this work and help us build a stronger, safer Salford.”

Criminals travelling across the border between Greater Manchester and Cheshire were greeted with more than a surprise on Thursday 26 June 2014, as officers from Greater
Manchester Police and Cheshire Police and took part in Operation Crossbow.
The overall aim of the joint operation was to disrupt illegal activity between the two counties and deny criminals the use of the roads.
By using Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras officers were able to monitor virtually every vehicle that crossed between the two counties, stopping all vehicles that were on the roads illegally or were linked to criminal activity.
Cheshire Police Assistant Chief Constable Mark Roberts said: "We know that criminals don′t simply stop when they reach the border, and we also know that there is as strong link between illegal vehicles and other types of serious crime.
"Uninsured drivers are more likely to commit other offences and many of their vehicles are unroadworthy and pose as real danger to other road users.
"Using technology, such as ANPR cameras, we are able to use the intelligence available to us to identify offenders and bring them to justice."
Greater Manchester Police Inspector Matt Bailey-Smith said: "We will not allow the safety of our roads to be compromised by criminals and operations like today will help us achieve our overall aim of keeping criminals off our roads.
"However, offenders across Cheshire and Greater Manchester can be assured that this is not a one-off operation. Our officers patrol the roads 365 days a year and will continue to target criminals."
Operation Crossbow involved more than 200 officers from Cheshire Police and GMP, as well as staff from partner agencies such as the UK Border Agency, Department of Work and Pensions, Her Majesties Revenue and Customs and the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency.
ANPR cameras are able to monitor more than 3000 number plates every hour and alert officers if a vehicle is linked to known criminals. The cameras also inform officers whether or not the vehicle is taxed & insured.
Both Greater Manchester Police and Cheshire Police and are keen to remind members of the public that they too can help make our roads safer by reporting illegal use of vehicles to the police on 101. Alternatively information can be reported anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Today (Thursday 20 2017) GMP and Derbyshire officers searched five homes in Brinnington and Reddish as part of a crackdown on burglaries in the borough.

The investigation has been carried out by Challenger officers who are dedicated to targeting organised crime in Greater Manchester.
Detective Inspector Chris Flint, of GMP’s Stockport Borough, said: “Over the past six months we have had a dedicated team trawling through intelligence and information about burglaries in Stockport, working hard to catch the culprits.
“Residents were concerned and we understand that crimes like this are an invasion in to your private life and can make people feel scared in their home.
“I want to stress that it is not okay and will never be tolerated by us. I hope people see we listened to those concerns and have acted on them.
“This investigation does not stop here and we will continue to tackle groups who cause misery to innocent people.
“Please continue to report anything suspicious and help us stop people who are benefitting from crime.”
