"A top-drawer spy story... the most spectacular and ironic episode that has so far come to light in the cloak-and-dagger history of the Second World War."
-ATLANTIC MONTHLY
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."

Officers from Operation Alloy targeted illegal vehicles yesterday as part of a national day of action to target metal theft.
During the day police stopped 24 vehicles and issued £3,800 of fines to drivers found to be flouting the law.
Two vehicles were seized for no insurance and a further four were immediately prohibited for defects.
Nineteen motorists received fixed penalty notices and officers also issued two traffic offence reports.
A further two drivers were summoned for no insurance.
Operation Alloy was launched in 2011 to deal with an increase in metal theft. Officers have worked relentlessly alongside the scrap metal industry and local authorities to target offenders and this has led to a 78 reduction in this type of crime.
In December 2012 Operation Alloy introduced the Legal Aid Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act which took cash out of the industry. Following on from this in October 2013 the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 was introduced which required all sites and collectors to be licensed.
Superintendent Craig Thompson from the Operation Alloy team said: “Operation Alloy has seen some massive reductions in metal theft and as days like this show, we are committed to continuing our battle against this type of crime.
“Metal theft is far from being a victimless crime and it is our local communities that feel the effect of it. We’ve come a long way since the launch of the operation and will continue to disrupt offenders using every tool at our disposal.
“Help us in our fight against these criminals, please report unlicensed scrap dealers or metal collectors to police on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”

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.

Thirty three (33) people have so far today, Wednesday 28 January 2015, been arrested following a huge crackdown on the supply of drugs across Greater Manchester.
Officers have executed warrants at 53 addresses across the region this morning as part of Operation Trafalgar, a pre-planned operation.
Police have also seized an imitation firearm, a quantity of heroin, several thousands of pounds of cash, three cars and discovered two cannabis farms.
Specialist officers from GMP’s Tactical Aid Unit teamed up with detectives and neighbourhood officers on each of Greater Manchester’s 11 divisions.
Superintendent Craig Thompson from the Specialist Operations Branch said: “Today’s operation sends a clear message to drug dealers that we will take robust action to disrupt their activity and put them in front of the courts.
“Drug dealers have no respect for local communities and we will not stand by and allow them to cause misery in order to fuel their own dishonest and antisocial lifestyles.
“Tackling drug-related crime is daily business and officers are out there every single day of the year hunting those responsible for bringing drugs into our communities.
“Help us weed out these individuals and put them behind bars where they deserve to be by calling the police or Crimestoppers anonymously.”

Assistant Chief Constable Garry Shewan leads a team of officers making an arrest as part of Operation Valant, the Greater Manchester Police operation to bring those responsible for recent large scale disorder in the region, to justice.
Greater Manchester Police is continuing to arrest all those suspected of being involved in the disorder in the city centre and Salford.
Thanks to the launch of the Shop a Looter campaign, with pictures of those suspected of being involved in looting displayed on huge advertising vans, GMP has been inundated with information from members of the public.
Thanks to that support, police have been able to make a number of arrests on Thursday evening and overnight, bringing the total number of arrests since Tuesday’s disorder to more than 200.
A 14-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of burglary.
A 17-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of burglary after he boasted on his Facebook site he could not be caught.
Another handed himself in after his friend saw his picture on the ad vans and called him to say his image was all over Manchester and had no place to hide.
ACC Garry Shewan said: "We said we would be coming for you, and we are. Within minutes of the ad van being launched in Manchester with the faces of some of those people involved, we have been inundated with information from members of the public about who these people are.
“These are just some of the good arrests we have made – I have been told of countless more by officers who are using every piece of information and every available avenue to find these people and bring them in.
"With the help of our communities we are identifying these people and arresting them. This is just the start - we will not rest until we have identified everyone involved."

Officers from Titan - the North West Regional Crime Unit - and Greater Manchester Police have taken part in raids targeting people suspected of being involved in a £300 million pound drugs conspiracy.
Police executed warrants at a number of addresses in Altrincham, Prestwich, Salford and Bolton in the early hours of Wednesday 2 July 2014.
A quantity of cash and drugs have been seized and are being examined to identify what they are.
Eight men were arrested on suspicion of drugs trafficking offences and three women were arrested on suspicion of possessing Class B drugs.
This morning’s raids have been part of an extensive investigation into the supply of Class A, B and C drugs across the North West by officers from Titan.
Detective Superintendent Jason Hudson, Titan’s head of operations said: "The coordinated arrests this morning come as a result of an intensive and painstaking 12 month long investigation by my team.
“Our actions have delivered a massive blow against the organised criminals operating in the Manchester and North West region, and we continue to send a strong message to others involved in this type of crime that we will act on information we receive and we will be knocking on your door.
“We remain committed to tackling those involved in drugs offences by dismantling their hierachies and putting those involved before the courts.
"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."
