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.

Placing flowers at the back of the Fort Harrison where Lisa McPherson was held for her final days. That folding display features the St. Pete Times front page article from this summer that detailed her tragic death at the hands of scientology.
December 5, 2009 was the 23nd consecutive month of peaceful global protests against the scientology cult. Several cities around the world chose Dec 5th as it is the 14th anniversary of Lisa McPherson's www.lisamcpherson.org/ death in scientology care at The Fort Harrison hotel in Clearwater.
Clearwater went with an Operation Frogger theme to ridicule the cult's top Clearwater OSA doofus Peter "Peetie" Mansell, who eyewitnesses said almost ran over an Anonymous protester walking down the sidewalk last month. The witnesses said had another Anon not yelled out a warning and the Anon jumped back, she would have been hit by Mansell. A police report was filed, witness statements were taken and a picture of the offending cult-owned fleet Honda's license place was turned over as evidence. These cult fleet vehicles are easy to spot with their Florda license plates all begin with the letter X.
Since last month's protest Senator Xenophon of Australia addressed The Australian Parliment calling scientology a "criminal organization" and requesting a parlimentary investigation.

Additionally, on Nov 25th a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court by ex-scientologist John Lindstein claims scientology enslaved him as a child and alleges human trafficking amongst other charges, naming cult leader David Miscavige, and two cult corporate entities as defendants.

All faces of those unmasked are blurred to protect them from the cult's "Fair Game" policy of harassing it's critics. These are brave people of all ages and walks of life, standing shoulder to shoulder with ex-Scientologists to bring the truth TO YOU.
But don't take my word for it, educate yourself about what TIME Magazine called "The Cult of Greed and Power":
Officers visit another address.
Fifteen people have been arrested by Greater Manchester Police in raids as part of an operation to target drug dealing in Oldham.
The people were arrested when officers raided 15 addresses just after 6am today, Thursday 21 July 2011.
Officers from Oldham's Neighbourhood Policing Teams launched the operation, codenamed Operation Rescind II, as their response to concerns the community had that drug dealing was a problem and, in turn, increasing crime and antisocial behaviour in the area.
The raids follow on from Operation Rescind, where officers raided 16 addresses in March 2011, which came after months of investigations by officers from the Oldham division and Serious Crime Division into the distribution of heroin and crack cocaine.
In the latest raids this morning, 15 men were arrested on suspicion of drugs offences, including possession with intent to supply class A drugs, after officers executed warrants across the Oldham area. Properties were raided in the Hathershaw, Chadderton, Westwood, Alt, Werneth, Moorside and Ashton-under Lyne areas.
Shotgun ammunition has been recovered from one address and a quantity of cannabis has been recovered from another.
More than 100 officers were involved in the raids and included officers from the Neighbourhood Policing Teams, Serious Crime Division, tactical aid units and dog handlers.
Superintendent Catherine Hankinson, from Greater Manchester Police's Oldham Division, said: "Today shows that the desire to rid our communities of the blight of drugs is continuous and we will go back and keep tackling the issue in the same area as many times as necessary until the problem is dealt with.
"Residents told us that class A drug dealing was a worry to them so we have responded robustly to combat this.
"Drugs wreck lives and the crime associated with them causes misery to the whole community - so we do everything possible to find out who is responsible and put them before the courts.
"These arrests are the culmination of hundreds of hours of work by officers and we have used divisional and force resources to gather the intelligence we needed to take this action. It is not a quick process and we thank the community for their patience while we have been building the strongest case possible."

Twenty people have been arrested following the latest phase of an operation to tackle the sale of stolen metal in Greater Manchester.
Earlier today, Wednesday 22 May 2013, Greater Manchester Police and British Transport Police executed a number of warrants at scrap metal dealers across the area as part of an intelligence-led Operation Alloy day of action.
Raids were executed at scrapyards in Rochdale, Bury, north Manchester, Oldham, Bolton and Salford.
The initiative also saw officers search the home addresses of those arrested as well as a number of partner agencies assist in the search of recycling yards and the recovery of potentially stolen metal.
Superintendent Craig Thompson, who leads Greater Manchester Police's Operation Alloy team, said: "Since Operation Alloy was launched more than two years ago, we have made huge inroads into tackling metal theft.
"However, despite a sharp drop in incidents of metal theft, we know there is still a culture that exists among thieves who believe they can off-load stolen metal onto scrapyards.
"Any scrapyard dealer who knowingly accepts stolen goods or pays cash for metal is propagating this cycle of criminality, creating a market for thieves for prosper, and that is exactly why we have taken this action today. If a burglar knows he can sell stolen metal to a rogue dealer, it will entice them into committing offences that can cause real hardship to businesses and victims.
"For example, if a pensioner has her boiler stolen in winter they will be unable to heat their home which could put their life in danger. We also know of businesses that have been forced to shell out hundreds of thousands of pounds to pay for repairs as a direct result of metal thieves. The knock-on effect of that is to put people's jobs on the line as businesses struggle to fund those repairs, so the human cost of what these rogue dealers are doing should not be underestimated.
"It is important to stress that of the 70 scrapyards across Greater Manchester, the vast majority have worked hand-in-hand with police and are fully compliant with all the legislation. They have helped us to create a hostile environment that has made it very difficult for thieves to off-load stolen metal.
"What today is all about is targeting those rogue dealers who are suspected of lining their own pockets and making huge swathes of cash by knowingly selling stolen metal. In terms of officer numbers and the sheer scale of the investigation, this is the biggest operation ourselves and British Transport Police have run which shows our determination to tackling metal theft."
When Operation Alloy was originally launched in August 2011 the region was recording up to 900 incidents of metal theft per month, a number which has now been reduced to about 200 per month.
T/Chief Superintendent Pete Mason, BTP's North West Area Commander, said: "Today's warrants are the culmination of a year-long joint investigation into the trade in stolen metal across Greater Manchester.
"Metal theft is a serious issue which has a major impact on the lives of those living and working in Greater Manchester.
"Whether thieves target railway cable, power lines, electrical substations or lead from homes or business, the impact felt by communities is marked and causes not only disruption but also financial loss and potential risk of harm.
"Thankfully, during the past 12 months, there have been significant reductions in the number of thefts recorded - due, in part, to legislative change which has gone hand in hand with enforcement activity under Operation Alloy."
T/Chief Supt Mason added: "Unfortunately, despite this recent success, the issue has not gone away and some scrap metal recyclers are keeping the market for stolen metal alive by continuing to flout the law and purchase metal with a 'no questions asked' attitude.
"This has to stop and GMP and BTP, together with partner agencies across the region, will continue to work together to take action against both thieves and unscrupulous scrap metal dealers."
Steve Cox, future network manager for Electricity North West, the company which owns and maintains the regional power network, said: "We have been working closely with Greater Manchester Police and British Transport Police and today's successful day of action highlights our commitment to crack down on this very serious crime.
"Metal theft not only affects us, your network operator, but also communities and residents, who could be left without power in their homes.
"These thieves, who are breaking into our substations or stealing from our overhead lines, are putting themselves and others in great danger and it causes thousands of pounds worth of damage.
"We are investing a lot of money and resources into putting a stop to metal theft in our region once and for all, but we would still urge people to get in touch if they hear or see anything suspicious."

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.

Five men have been arrested following raids at three addresses in Oldham today, 21 November 2011, as part of Operation Caminada.
Thousands of pounds in cash, a quantity of drugs as well as a Toyota Hiace and BMW 5 series were seized as part of the raids.
Operation Caminada has been set up to combat organised crime in the town. It involves a wide variety of agencies including Oldham Council working together to investigate individuals believed to be involved in organised crime.
The Operation Caminada team will investigate all areas of a suspected criminal’s life including, their business interests, benefits and associates. The information they gather is used to build an intelligence picture and identify illegal activity.
The organisations involved can then use their various powers to make it more difficult for these individuals to pursue their criminal lifestyle, such as revoking their licences and freezing their benefits.
In the months since work on the initiative has begun, officers have started financial investigations into those businesses involved criminality.
Chief Superintendent Tim Forber, Oldham Divisional Commander, said: “There are people involved in organised crime in this Borough who don’t abide by the norms of society. They often make vast sums of money, predominantly by selling drugs in some of our most vulnerable communities and represent a negative role model for young people growing up.
“Operation Caminada involves the police, Oldham Council and a whole range of partners who have agreed to use their collective regulatory powers to target these individuals. Often such criminals set up legitimate businesses in order to launder the money they make from other illegal enterprises. We will collectively work to disrupt those businesses and make it as difficult as possible for them to operate.
“It is important to stress that this is not a substitute for prosecuting criminals through the courts. So far this year we have undertaken in excess of 120 search warrants which have resulted in the prosecution of 111 individual offences of supplying controlled drugs. We have also seized more than £150,000 in cash from criminals. This operation will complement that work and deliver a clear message to people involved organised crime that they are not wanted in this Borough.
“The public can also help us by letting us know who they believe is living off crime. Information can be passed anonymously via the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 or you can contact police on 0161 872 5050.”
Councillor Jean Stretton, Oldham Council’s Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods, said: “Organised crime is a serious blight on local communities and can only be tackled effectively by co-ordinated partnership working by Oldham Council alongside the police and other agencies.
“We are prepared to stand up and fight for our neighbourhoods because it is our ordinary law-abiding residents and businesses who suffer the effects of organised crime in its various guises such as street corner drug dealing, illegal firearms, money laundering, blackmail, identity theft and fraud.
“The victims of these crimes are often the most vulnerable members of society who suffer long-term damage as a result, and we need to reduce that vulnerability by taking action and raising awareness to enable people and businesses to protect themselves.
“Intelligence is obviously also a very important part of tackling organised crime and I would urge any residents with information about these kind of activities to report it to the police.
“By working together co-operatively to detect and deter these criminal networks we have a better chance of putting them out of business and improving lives across our neighbourhoods.”

Officers from Titan and Greater Manchester Police have taken part in raids targeting a £10 million pound money laundering operation.
Police executed warrants at a number of addresses in Cheetham Hill, Salford and Hale Barns, Altrincham, Openshaw, Bolton, Oldham and Sale in the early hours of Tuesday 2 November 2014.
Officers have seized high value cars including Porsches, a Range Rover and a Mercedes, alongside designer handbags and shoes, perfume and a significant amount of cash and laptops.
Seven men and two women aged between 27 and 50 have been arrested on suspicion of international money laundering and remain in police custody for questioning.
This morning’s raids have been part of an eight-month investigation into money laundering by organised crime groups across Europe by officers from Titan, the North West Regional Organised Crime Unit.
Detective Superintendent Jason Hudson, Titan’s head of operations said: "The coordinated arrests come as a result of an extensive and thorough eight month long investigation by my team.
“This investigation into money laundering that has a reach far wider than just Manchester, with criminal operations reaching as far as Paris, and we believe as much as £10 million may have been moved.”
“Along with our colleagues from Greater Manchester Police, HMRC, DWP and also the French Police, we have taken a significant step today in dismantling organised crime groups who are damaging communities with illegal money laundering, and the other crime this funds.
“We have seized a number of high-value cars today, which I hope will show the public that we will and do strip criminals of their assets.
“I send the message to people involved in this type of crime: your actions will eventually catch up with you and we will knock on your door.
"I would urge decent, law-abiding members of the community who have information about criminality where they live to share that information with their local police force or Crimestoppers so that positive action can be taken."

The vote on that is scheduled for February 2010, but in the mean time Australian police are investigating the allegations.

Part 2: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vk5O302kHNM&feature=related
Additionally, on Nov 25th a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court by ex-scientologist John Lindstein claims scientology enslaved him as a child and alleges human trafficking amongst other charges, naming cult leader David Miscavige, and two cult corporate entities as defendants.

All faces of those unmasked are blurred to protect them from the cult's "Fair Game" policy of harassing it's critics. These are brave people of all ages and walks of life, standing shoulder to shoulder with ex-Scientologists to bring the truth TO YOU.
But don't take my word for it, educate yourself about what TIME Magazine called "The Cult of Greed and Power":
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.”

Four people have been arrested in raids as part of an operation to crackdown on drug dealing and organised crime in Tameside.
They were arrested when officers from Greater Manchester Police raided nine addresses just after 7am today, Wednesday 4 June 2014.
Officers from Tameside’s neighbourhood policing teams launched the operation, codenamed Operation Suffield, as their response to the growing problem of drugs in the area.
These arrests came after months of investigations by officers from the Tameside division and Serious Crime Division into the distribution of heroin and crack cocaine.
In the raids this morning, four men were arrested on suspicion of drugs offences after officers executed warrants across the Hattersley area of Tameside.
More than 70 officers were involved in the raids and included officers from the neighbourhood policing teams, Serious Crime Division, tactical aid units and dog handlers.
Extra officers from Tameside’s Neighbourhood Policing Teams will be patrolling the area for today and the next few days to provide a visible presence and reassurance to the community.
Detective Inspector John Charlton for Tameside Division, said: “Today shows that the desire to rid our communities of the blight of drugs is continuous and we will go back and keep tackling the issue in the same area as many times as necessary until the problem is dealt with.
“This operation has taken months of intricate planning and dedication by a large team of officers from across the Force and the National Crime Agency.
“Communities have told us that they want drugs and drug dealing tackled across the borough and I hope that today’s action highlights how seriously we take these crimes.
“It also sends a message out that we will not let people profit from spreading their misery in our neighbourhoods and we will continue to use all the powers and resources available to put people before the courts.”
If you have information on anyone who may be committing crime in your area, please call police on 101 or 0161 872 5050 or for more information visit gmp.police.uk.

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.”

Special constables of Greater Manchester Police and Cheshire Police have today, 9 January 2015, taken part in Operation Fezzan.
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 vehicles that crossed between the two counties, stopping any that were on the roads illegally or were linked to criminal activity.
The operation was centred around the forces' border near Poynton.
Special constables are volunteer police officers who give up their time to help keep our communities safe. They have the same powers as regular officers and provide police forces across the country with thousands of hours of additional policing every month.
