A VIS deep-cover asset, codenamed Sapphire, had been compromised and captured by the rebel militia known as the Ligeria Liberation Army (LLA). Intelligence pinpointed Sapphire’s location at a house near the Ligeria-Nagonia border region. Due to Sapphire’s extensive knowledge of the LLA, a low-visibility rescue mission was authorized.
Team 7 was tasked with executing the rescue operation. After receiving their mission brief and formulating a plan, the team began preparing their gear and equipment for the mission. Each operator meticulously checked their weapons and communications gear to ensure everything was in perfect working order. Ammunition was distributed, and medical kits were stocked.
With every detail accounted for, Team 7 launched the high-risk rescue mission. Before departing, the team took a quick photo to mark the occasion.

Today, Wednesday 2 October 2019, saw the conclusion of Operation Protector.
This is has been the policing operation for the Conservative Party Conference.
Chief Superintendent Wasim Chaudhry, Gold Commander in charge of policing during the Conservative Party Conference said:
“Over the past four days, Manchester has played host to the Conservative Party Conference, which saw just over 12,000 delegates visit our city.
“Policing this event presents a complex security and public order operation, requiring a high degree of multiagency partnership working and the highest levels of professionalism.
“As in previous years, there have been elements of protest throughout the conference period – notably on Sunday 29 September when around 13,000 people marched through the city.
“The vast majority of people attending protests did so peacefully and worked with us to ensure they could voice their opinions in a safe manner and with minimal disruption to others.
“On the occasions where individuals crossed the line we have taken positive action. It’s testament to our balanced policing approach that only four people have been arrested during the conference period.
“I want to thank those who live, work in or were visiting Manchester during the conference for their patience while our policing operation was in place.
“Throughout Operation Protector, officers have worked tirelessly to protect delegates, manage protests and keep our city safe.
“I am proud of all our officers and staff. They have performed their duties to the highest of standards and behaved in a professional and fair manner throughout.”
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.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- A large-scale gang enforcement operation, dubbed “Operation Triple Beam Colorado,” in which a number of Colorado law enforcement agencies partnered with the U.S. Marshals Service from May 15 through August 10, led to the arrest of 156 people.
In addition to the 156 arrests during OTB Colorado, authorities also seized 26 firearms, including 10 fully automatic rifles , 1.3 kilograms of methamphetamine, 739 grams of cocaine. Additionally six stolen vehicles were recovered, and $89,087 in illicit funds were recovered. The intent of Operation Triple Beam is to make a noticeable dip in violent crimes during and following the enforcement phase of the operation.
OTB Colorado saw the participation of the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office, Colorado Springs Police Department, Colorado Department of Corrections, Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office, Pueblo Police Department, Colorado Bureau of Investigation, Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Department of Homeland Security, all working on the U.S. Marshals Service-led operation aimed at providing communities with immediate relief from gang-related violence by targeting fugitive gang members and the organizations responsible for committing violent crimes.
Since its inception in 2010, Operation Triple Beam has been conducted 50 times nationwide, resulting in more than 8,000 arrests and the seizure of more than 1,800 illegal firearms.

At 6am this morning (27 July 2022), GMP broke down the doors of 13 properties across Middleton, Heywood and North Manchester, as well as Lancashire and West Yorkshire, as part of ‘Operation Heartwood’, targeting the supply of drugs across the North of England.
Ten men, aged between 34 and 54, were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply Class A drugs and were taken into custody where they remain this afternoon for questioning.
Detective Inspector Justin Bryant, of GMPs Serious and Organised Crime Group, said: “We’re really pleased with the result from this morning’s warrants executed by our Serious and Organised Crime Group, across three counties.
“Op Heartwood was launched in response to intelligence received about an organised crime group based in Middleton, who we discovered to be running a large scale drugs conspiracy from several addresses in the area.
"As a result of the investigation, three people have already been arrested and subsequently charged with drug supply offences and we will continue to work until every member of this crime group is brought to justice.
“As well as the arrests made, we also seized approximately £30,000 in cash, as well as high value jewellery and a cash counting machine.
“I hope these arrests will reassure the public that we are committed to making our local communities safer for everyone by disrupting this type of serious criminality. We understand the impact that drug dealing has on our communities and it won’t be tolerated.
“As always we very much welcome and rely on information from the public to help us to disrupt crime"

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.

Following feedback from the community, Operation Mandera was launched in 2013 to tackle antisocial behaviour and crime in Piccadilly Gardens.
Spearheaded by the Greater Manchester Police’s Neighbourhood Policing Team, in partnership with Manchester City Council’s Neighbourhood Enforcement, CCTV and Community Safety teams, the initiative continues to be a success in reducing the number of drug dealing activities in the Piccadilly Gardens area.
Latest figures released by GMP show to date that 44 offenders have been handed prison sentences, with a combined jail time of over 91 years.
37 offenders have received a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO), banning them from entering the Piccadilly area. These orders range from two to five years. One offender has been handed a CBO forbidding them from entering Piccadilly Gardens for life.
Inspector Phil Spurgeon, with the City Centre Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “We recognise that Piccadilly Gardens is one of the most important public spaces in Manchester city centre. It is an area that is used and enjoyed by many, but we know that it brings unique community safety challenges.
“Staff from the City Centre Neighbourhood Policing Team, alongside Manchester city council and many other partners, continue to work incredibly hard to tackle a wide range of criminal and antisocial behaviour issues in and around Piccadilly Gardens.
“We welcome the continuing support from the local community, from people living, working, or visiting the area.
“We know that there is still much work to do, but it’s important to reassure the public of the successes that Operation Mandera has seen over the last three years. A number of drug dealers have received significant prison sentences, and 37 have been given Criminal Behaviour Orders banning them from the area once they have been released.
“Our ongoing work with partners and the community will continue to maintain Piccadilly Gardens as an area that can be enjoyed by law abiding citizens, their families and friends.”
Councillor Pat Karney, Manchester City Council's city centre spokesman, said: “Piccadilly Gardens is a cherished space in the heart of the city centre enjoyed by tens of thousands of people each year.
“We are not naïve though and recognise there have been problems in the area. We have been working closely with the police to crack down on crime and anti-social behaviour and the success of Operation Mandera demonstrates that those efforts are making a real difference.
“Operation Mandera is ongoing and everyone should be aware we will not tolerate any form of anti-social behaviour or criminal activity – be warned there are serious consequences for perpetrators and recent successes prove we will catch them.”

Three people have been arrested after early morning warrants were executed in Manchester.
Earlier this morning (Friday 29 November 2019), officers executed warrants at two addresses in Cheetham Hill and made three arrests in relation to an ongoing firearms investigation.
The action comes after GMP launched a dedicated operation – codenamed Heamus - earlier in the month. The operation is set to tackle a dispute between two local crime groups, following a series of firearms discharges which have taken place since the beginning of September 2019.
Superintendent Rebecca Boyce, of GMP’s City of Manchester division, said: “Following this morning’s direct action, we have three people in custody and I would like to thank those officers who have worked extremely hard as part of this ongoing operation and who are committed to keeping the people of Cheetham Hill safe.
“Whilst we believe that these incidents have been targeted, we understand and appreciate how concerned local residents may be and as a result of this have set up this dedicated operation. We want to reassure those who feel affected that we are doing all that we can and stress that we are treating these incidents as an absolute priority.
“This is a complex investigation, which brings its own challenges and whilst we have made arrests, we are continuing to appeal for the public’s help. We believe that answers lie within the community and would urge anyone with information to get in touch. Whether you want to speak to us directly, or whether you’d prefer to talk to Crimestoppers anonymously, please do so if you think you can assist our enquiries with even the smallest piece of information.
“We will continue to work closely with partners in order to disrupt this kind of activity and I hope that this morning’s action demonstrates that are working hard in order to prevent any further incidents and protect those in our communities.
“This type of criminal behaviour is reckless and dangerous- it will not be tolerated on our streets.”
Anyone with information should call 0161 856 1146, quoting incident number 2348 of 18/11/19. Reports can also be made anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Today, Tuesday 6 December 2011, police have raided the homes of those suspected of drug dealing across the three Manchester divisions (North Manchester, south Manchester and Metropolitan divisions).
Hundreds of officers have been involved in the strikes for Operation Audacious, which took place at just after 6am, including specialist officers from GMP’s tactical aid, mounted, dogs and firearms units, as well as divisional and neighbourhood officers.
The actions of these officers were watched by more than 130 members of the community, who, in a first for GMP, were invited along so they could witness first-hand how police are putting a stop to drugs activity in their neighbourhood.
These observers included residents, people from local schools, community centres, business owners and councillors.
Drugs workers will also be on hand throughout the day to offer services to any prisoners that currently use drugs and who may want help to stop.
Over the past few months, officers have been building intelligence passed on from the local community on those who are suspected of street drug dealing, culminating in the largest single drugs strike that GMP has done in one day.
Chief Superintendent Russ Jackson, Divisional Commander for North Manchester said: “Cracking down on drugs in our communities is a big priority for GMP and I hope today shows the people of Manchester just how seriously we are committed to this cause.
“Drugs are a major driving force behind many other crimes such as burglary, robbery and vehicle crime, and that is why we are determined to root out all those involved in this trade, from the addicts to the sellers to those who are bringing the drugs in.
"Today’s strikes have taken months in the planning and will have caused significant disruption to the users and suppliers of illegal drugs in Manchester. With the public’s help, this work will continue.
“Let today be a stark warning to anyone involved in drugs activity that not only will they end up behind bars, but through Proceeds of Crime Act legislation, they will also end up out of pocket."
Neighbourhood police officers will be available throughout the day at Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester city centre, where they will be speaking to people about today’s operation and encouraging people to pass on information about suspected drugs activity in their area.
More than 3,000 leaflets will also be distributed to residents in areas where raids have taken place.
Anyone can follow the progress of Operation Audacious throughout the day via twitter, at #OpAudacious.
If anyone has any information on those involved in the sale and supply of drugs in their area, locations where drug dealing is taking place, or those who they believe may be using drugs, please contact the police so something can be done about it.
Information can be passed on to police directly by calling the new non-emergency number, 101, or by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

Drug detection dog at work during Operation Airlock.
Operation Airlock
Officers from the Sale Neighbourhood Policing Team of Greater Manchester Police’s Trafford Division patrolled trams and the Brooklands, Sale and Dane Road Metrolink stations with a drugs detection dog on Friday (23 April) evening.
A number of people were searched resulting in 10 seizures of cannabis and a seizure of a quantity of blue tablets suspected of being ecstasy. Eight people were given on the spot cannabis street warnings and two people were given street bail.
The clampdown was part of Operation Airlock, an ongoing operation that will continue to target and prevent drug-related criminality in the Sale area using a variety of tactics. The operation has been running since March 2010 and has, so far, resulted in 29 seizures of class A and class B illegal substances.
Inspector Laura Burgess of the Sale Neighbourhood Policing Team said: “When we speak to our communities, drugs are frequently highlighted as a priority issue.
“The response we had from members of the public during the operation was very positive and I believe we sent out a message that, if you choose to take or deal drugs in the area, you will be caught and brought to justice.
“It is essential that communities tell us about what is going on in their area so we can tackle the issues that are most important to them. This can be done by contacting the NPT, attending neighbourhood forum meetings or just stopping to chat with your local officer or PCSO.”

This morning (2 September 2022), officers smashed through the doors of 17 properties in the north, south and centre of Manchester, as part of a dedicated day of action to target criminals linked to the supply of drugs across the region.
The warrants were carried out simultaneously in areas including Wythenshawe, Whalley Range, Gorton, Longsight and Moss Side.
Today’s day of action was undertaken as part of ‘Operation Safer Manchester’ which is a City of Manchester based partnership initiative to crack down on crime in key areas affecting local residents including drugs, burglary, robbery and vehicle related crime.
Chief Superintendent Rob Cousen, of GMPs City of Manchester district, said: “Drug related criminality can have a devastating impact, destroying the lives of vulnerable people and creating the funds for organised crime groups to grow and further infiltrate our communities.
“The fight to crack down on drug supply never stops and today’s day of action is just an example of the work we do on a daily basis across Greater Manchester to keep the public safe.
“As always, and especially with drug related crime, we rely heavily on information from the public to help us to identify offenders so we can take them off our streets. I’d like to appeal today to anyone who knows anything about drug dealing happening in their local area, or anyone who may have suspicions about it happening, to contact police. This can be done anonymously by calling Crimestoppers and really does make a difference”.
Anyone with information can contact police on 101, or via our Live Chat service at: www.gmp.police.uk. Call Crimestoppers on 08000 555 111.
Would you like to make a real difference to our communities and help us make Greater Manchester a safer place to live? We are recruiting police officers in a number of exciting and rewarding roles.

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.”

Lt. Col. Robert Brogan, U.S. Army Africa battalion commander, gives opening remarks for Operation Guardian Logistics, a seminar for USARAF hand receipt holders and Government Purchase Card holders to reinforce supply discipline within the command, reduce equipment losses and ensure GPC procedures are being enforced and embedded within Wide Area work Flow for formal property accountability. According to Chief Warrant Officer 5 Joachim Consiglio, USARAF senior logistics advisor, property accountability is the key to the move. The seminar included topics such as hand receipt maintenance, ordering supplies through the supply portal, turn-in procedures, GPC property accountability and cyclic/sensitive time procedures. Consiglio said the main purpose of the seminar is to establish and enforce property accountability throughout the command and ensure USARAF has processes in place to enforce when the Del Din move happens.

Five people have been arrested in Hyde as part of an operation tackling organised crime.
They were arrested when officers from Greater Manchester Police raided six addresses in Hyde just after 7am yesterday, Thursday 1 May 2014, while Met Police officers simultaneously raided an address in Surrey.
More than 50 officers took part in Tameside Police's Operation Ordaz, which was orchestrated in response to an investigation into organised criminality in Tameside.
Officers have been investigating a possible plot by a network of people to pervert the course of justice in an ongoing criminal investigation.
The three men and two women who were arrested today have been linked to this continuing investigation.
Detective Constable Martyn Kendall: “The arrests are a result of months of careful planning from Operation Ordaz officers.
“We received allegations that people were attempting to corrupt the criminal justice system, using any means necessary to force a witness to change his testimony.
“We are sending out a message to anyone hoping to derail justice, by any means, will fail and be punished severely.
“If you have information on anyone who may be committing crime in your area, please call police on 101 or for more information visit gmp.police.uk.”

Last week saw over 100 police officers visiting scrap metal dealers and motor salvage operators across Greater Manchester as part of Operation Alloy.
They were joined by officials from local authorities, HM Revenue & Customs and the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency, and traffic officers were also out on the roads reminding scrap metal collectors and motor salvage operators that they now need to be licensed by each local authority where they operate.
They stopped over 200 vehicles during the week, 14 of which were seized, and identified 78 offences resulting in five arrests and over £10,500 in fines.
Arrests were made for suspected drink driving in two cases, as well as possession of drugs and driving without a licence or insurance.
Officers also seized more than 520 metal roll-cages used by supermarkets and hauliers to transport goods, and these have now been returned to the rightful owners.
Under the new Scrap Metal Act, which was introduced on 1 October 2013, dealers and collectors must have undergone background checks to ensure they are fit to run a business, and can now only trade in cheques or bank transfers so there is a record of each transaction.
All sellers of metal must provide personal identification at the point of sale, and scrap dealers or collectors must keep detailed records of items that they buy or collect.
In addition, the Act gives new powers to police and local authorities to revoke licences and close down rogue businesses.
PCSO John Woods of GMP’s Operation Alloy team said: “We’ve managed to reduce metal theft across Greater Manchester by 70 per cent* in the last few years, and this has largely been down to various agencies working in close partnership and sharing information.
“An example of this is our recent work with Electricity North West (ENW) and Signature Materials, which means that all ENW’s cabling and equipment is now uniquely marked and traceable, making it much harder for metal thieves to profit from their crimes.”

Officers from Greater Manchester Police's Salford Division are undertaking regular days of action as part of Operation Naseby's disruption hub - formed in April earlier this year to reduce the activity of local organised crime groups.
The public are encouraged, as ever, to speak to high-visibility patrols with any concerns or information they may have with the knowledge that information will be treated with the strictest confidence.
Since the inception of the Operation Naseby disruption hub in April, there have been 126 arrests, 109 vehicles seized and 48 house searches.
GMP have also been working alongside partners in Salford City Council as part of Project Gulf, an initiative dedicated to tackling organised crime in the city with a view to deter reoffending as well as taking down criminal groups.
Detective Inspector Rebecca Mills, of GMP's Salford division, said: "Today is the start of a series of action days across Salford where our officers are increasing their methods of disrupting criminal activity by serious and organised crime groups in the area.
"This is part of our ongoing Operation Naseby disruption programme which has seen some significant advances made in tackling the type of crime that causes such risk and harm to those who are most susceptible in our society to such activity.
"I'd like to reassure the public that the work going on in the commencing weeks is part of this ongoing operation and there is no known risk to the wider public.
"We do urge anyone with information regarding organised crime in Salford to contact police or our high-visibility patrols that operate in our communities - as the greater the information we have available to us, the more successful our work in tackling these groups will be."
Anyone with any information should contact police on 101 quoting Operation Naseby. Details can be passed anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Police in Greater Manchester have arrested over 120 people as part of their latest blitz on burglary and robbery.
Officers carried out a number of warrants under Operation Storm which included the arrest of wanted offenders and those that have been targeting the city’s students. Approximately 90 cannabis plants with an estimated street value of £90,000 were recovered at an address in Fallowfield, along with cultivation equipment at an estimated value of £10,000.
Some of the wanted offenders arrested included 18-year old and 19-year old men who were wanted for a cash in transit robbery. On arresting the pair an amount of cash was recovered. Officers also arrested a 25-year old man wanted following a robbery on a taxi driver and a 19-year old man wanted for an assault.
Specialist and divisional officers have visited the homes of criminals across the county to ensure they fulfilled their bail and curfew conditions and not returning to their offending ways.
There have also been home visits carried out to repeat victims of domestic abuse to ensure their abusing partners do not return to cause them further harm.
Deputy Chief Constable Ian Hopkins for Greater Manchester Police, said: “Our actions during the operation show we respond to the concerns of local people and the misery burglary and drug dealing causes to people living across Greater Manchester.
“The response we got from people on the streets who witnessed our activity was fantastic and demonstrated the confidence people have to give us information and work with us to tackle criminality.
“Last month saw the return of students old and new but for criminals it simply means rich and easy pickings. By holding this operation we can bring down this type of crime and ensure the youngsters can enjoy their time while studying in the city without the fear of becoming a victim of crime.
“As the nights get darker there is a rise in the number of opportunist thieves who like to prey on unsuspecting homes. By getting in before they do we can help put a stop in their tracks. This crackdown, coupled with our daily offender targeting sends criminals a clear message that they can’t harm our community with impunity.
“However we can’t make a difference on our own. By using a light timer, setting an alarm and making your home look occupied you can reduce the chance of becoming a victim of crime. Remember one in three homes are targeted because homes are left insecure.”
Residents can play their part in the fight against criminals by reporting suspicious activity either directly on 101 or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Crimestoppers is an independent charity that will not want your name, just your information. Your call will not be traced or recorded and you do not have to go to court or give a statement.

Operation Clambake on July 18, 2009 in Clearwater, Florida marked the 18th month of peaceful global protests in cities around the world against the malicious cult/corporation of scientology.
In keeping with the clambake theme, Hawaiian shirts, decorations and leis were on hand.
In this recent St. Petersburg Times expose' you can read for yourself how the cult leader David Miscavige encourages and perpetrates fear and violence among the cult's staff, which trickles down to all aspects of scientology:

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":
