Police in Bolton have today arrested 15 people in connection with drug dealing in the borough.
This morning’s warrants, which targeted those suspected of selling Class A drugs in the town centre at night time, follow months of intelligence gathering and planning by police in Bolton.
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.

Thousands of pounds worth of Class A drugs, cash, and a suspected firearm have been recovered during raids across Manchester this morning.
At around 5am this morning (Thursday 25 March) Officers from GMP's City of Manchester Division, the Intelligence development Unit, Op Challenger and the North West Regional Organised Crime Unit, executed warrants as part of Operation Apostle, at five addresses across the city.
During the Operation, five men, aged between 23 and 59 were arrested on suspicion of drugs and firearms offences, and money laundering, and remain in custody for questioning.
During searches of the properties, Class A drugs were recovered believed to be worth around £10,000, along with £2000 worth of cash, and a suspected firearm.
This morning's activity forms part of an investigation into organised crime, possession of firearms and drug dealing in the Hulme, Moss Side and Manchester area.
Chief Inspector John Harris of GMP's City of Manchester Division, said "The early morning police activity today has been the culmination of a great team effort. Over a period of time officers have been gathering intelligence and evidence, leading to the activity today where we have been able to continue to enforce, intervene and tackle organised crime in Hulme, Moss Side and the wider Manchester area.
Today we have been able to recover a potentially lethal weapon, a significant quantity of drugs, and an amount of cash. This is another positive step forward in our commitment to ensuring the community are kept safe and that the risk of harm is reduced.
“A lot of unseen work has gone into the preparation of today's activity to disrupt and dismantle organised criminal activity, and our investigations will continue. Officers often rely on the intelligence and information received from members of the community, so I would encourage anyone with any information or concern to contact the police, whether in person, by telephone on 0161 856 4428, online www.gmp.police.uk or anonymously via the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."

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.

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.

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."
