Operation AVRO is a forcewide initiative that delivers a surge of extra resources and specialist officers to a different district within Greater Manchester each month.
This month (June 2022) saw the operation take place in Bolton.
The operation targets crimes that members of the public in that district have told us give them the most concern.
Members of the press and key partners, including local representatives, are invited to attend Operation AVRO deployments to see results first-hand and conduct important multi-agency work, such as welfare visits.
More details on AVRO can be found by visiting gmp.police.uk and following us on social media.
You should call 101, the national non-emergency number, to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response.
Always call 999 in an emergency, such as when a crime is in progress, violence is being used or threatened or where there is danger to life.
You can also call anonymously with information about crime to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Crimestoppers is an independent charity who 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.

A Victorian special operations task force was assigned to ambush an exchange of radioactive material and capture a high value individual (HVI) codename Panther, a Russian arms dealer.
Since the exchange would take place in an area within the Russian sphere of influence, no ISR or air asset would be available. The plan was to insert reconnaissance teams before the exchange to perform advanced force operations (AFO) and to provide overwatch during the exchange. An assault team would then enter the area of operations (AO) by high altitude high opening (HAHO) insertion and setup an ambush at the exchange.
A ground extraction team will infiltrate the AO by vehicles (including HMMWVs and Grizzly LAVs) under the guise of a routine patrol to extract the assault team once the radioactive material and the HVI have been secured.
The remaining of the task force would be the quick reaction force (QRF) loaded in helicopters waiting at a forward operating base (FOB) and called upon if needed.
A 6-man team from the Deep Reconnaissance Platoon (callsign Talon-2-1) was tasked with route reconnaissance to ensure the ground convoy has a safe route for insertion and extraction.

A Victorian special operations task force was assigned to ambush an exchange of radioactive material and capture a high value individual (HVI) codename Panther, a Russian arms dealer. Although Team 8 form the task force has setup an ambush to intercept the radioactive material and capture Panther, the arms dealer arrived at the exchange in a BTR armored personnel carrier along with a Russian Spetsnaz unit. A strategic decision was made for Team 8 to stand down, fearing a direct engagement with Russian troops.
Although Panther was allowed to escape, the task force had a "bump plan" to intercept the radioactive material. The Advanced Force Operations teams continued to track the vehicles carrying the radioactive material. As the vehicles entered the Great Desert, Team 7 performed a heliborne interception.
Did Team 7 capture the radioactive material? To be continued...

A Sunwing passenger jet (SW703) traveling from Barkley Island to Victoria was hijacked by two gunmen from the Samedi Gang.
Although the Victoria Government was ready and eager to send its counter-terrorism task force (TF), the Barkley Island Government was initially reluctant. The Barkley Island Government believed that its National Defence Wing was capable of rescuing the hostages should it became necessary. They were also reluctant to accept Victoria’s offer, fearing that it would look weak politically if they accepted foreign military assistance. The TF, however, began and continued to conduct rehearsals and was ready to be deployed at a moment’s notice.
The negotiator was initially optimistic as the negotiation began. As a gesture of good faith, the gunmen released all women and children in exchange of food and water.

A Victorian special operations task force was assigned to ambush an exchange of radioactive material and capture a high value individual (HVI) codename Panther, a Russian arms dealer.
The teams in the TF were assigned with different tasks. Team 8: the assault team, Team 55: the extraction team, and Team 7: the Quick Reaction Force (QRF). Video links with the Task Force's TOC, Victoria’s National Command Centre (NCC), United States’ Situation Room and United Kingdom’s COBRA were also setup to monitor the mission on the day of the exchange.
After conducting a high altitude high opening (HAHO) insertion, the assault team successfully infiltrated into the AO undetected and setup an ambush at the exchange site. Initially things seemed to be going according to plan as only two insurgents arrived at the exchange in two vehicles. However, Panther arrived at the exchange in a BTR armored personnel carrier along with a Russian Spetsnaz Unit. The assault team immediately radioed the TOC for instructions.
Will the assault team get the authorization to engage? To be continued...

Operations image of the week:
On 21 October 1974, the new European Space Operations Centre, or ESOC, for the first time invited the public inside to see first-hand what was happening at Darmstadt’s mission control centre.
At the time, the centre was part of the European Space Research Organisation, which would, in 1975, be combined with the European Launcher Development Organisation to form ESA.
The official report in the Bulletin magazine for November 1974 noted:
“The interest shown greatly exceeded expectations, as evidenced by the fact that more than 10 000 visitors were catered for between 10.00 and 17.00 hours. With competent staff members acting as guides, tours were arranged through the Operation Control Centre, including the Real-Time and Conversion areas, the Computer Building, and a 210 m2 hall housing life-size models of some of the ESRO satellites and a photo exhibition.”
Writing in How to Survive in Space some 20 years later, author Madeleine Schäfer, who worked at the centre until the 1990s, gave the background to what happened:
“… over 10 000 visitors from Darmstadt and surroundings descended upon ESOC like a cloud of locusts, avidly devouring everything in their path and leaving a trail of waste and destruction in their wake.
“Distracted secretaries arriving the following Monday found cupboards, which had been inadvertently left ajar, deplete of everything bearing the ESOC insignia; programmers, who had been foolish enough to leave their programs to run overnight, dejectedly collected the remnants together (the visitors – not satisfied with the standard PR material – had selected punch cards at random as souvenirs).
“Despite competitions, a space quiz, a balloon contest, special playrooms for the children and cinema shows, the Darmstädter visitors still found ample opportunity to display a healthy curiosity in all facets of space technology – by pressing all available knobs and buttons and effectively halting the mainframe computer and all on-going operations.”
“All in all, the first Open Day was pronounced by all participants to be a wonderful success.”
The next open day at ESOC, “Long Night of the Stars”, is set for 8 September 2017, to celebrate the centre's 50th anniversary.

Dawn raids saw 5 people arrested as part of a crackdown on an organised crime group operating across several areas in England.
This morning (Thursday 16 May 2019) a team of officers executed warrants at 7 addresses in Oldham.
The warrants were executed as part of Operation Hansford – set up by GMP officers to target an organised crime group believed to be involved in crimes committed across England, spanning several force areas- including Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Lancashire.
As part of Operation Hansford detectives have investigated 120 offences including aggravated burglary, robbery, car theft, assault, violent disorder and criminal damage – all believed to be orchestrated by the same organised crime group.
Chief Superintendent Neil Evans, GMP’s Territorial Commander with responsibility for Oldham said: “Today we have 5 people in custody and that is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the team here in Oldham, who have worked tirelessly in order to disrupt this organised crime group.
“Today’s action has been supported from officers across GMP; however I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our colleagues from West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Lancashire – all of whom have supported this investigation from the very outset.
“The importance of our investigation and the severity of the crimes committed should not be underestimated. Organised criminal activity destroys people’s livelihoods and blights communities. I hope that today’s action demonstrates to those who have been affected by such criminality just how dedicated we are in bringing those responsible to justice, as well as our absolute commitment to making the streets of Greater Manchester a safer place.
“I would also like to emphasise that Operation Hansford remains very much ongoing.”

Today (10 December 2015) saw a series of raids in the Wythenshawe area.
Police have launched a ’12 days of Christmas’ pre-emptive strike against offenders causing misery during the festive period.
The 12 high-profile days of action which will tackle the traditional spike in crime usually seen during this time of year.
The operation, which is codenamed ‘Bauble’, will see up to 1,000 officers take to the streets across Greater Manchester to disrupt criminal activity and stop offenders in their tracks.
Operation Bauble will target a range of offences including burglary, domestic abuse, robbery, handling stolen goods, dangerous and illegal driving and alcohol-fuelled violence.
Local officers will be joined by specialist resources during each of the 12 days, including traffic, tactical aid, ANPR, intercept teams, mounted and dog units. The teams will blitz areas and weed out individual’s intent on committing crime and preying on vulnerable people.
Police are also calling on communities to keep themselves and others safe, report crime and suspicious activity and look out for neighbours, relatives and friends.
Superintendent Craig Thompson said: “We want law-abiding people to remember Christmas for all the right reasons and to make sure this happens we’ll be doing everything we can to take offenders off our streets through Operation Bauble.
“Divisional officers with the support of specialist resources will be targeting local issues to ensure there isn’t a spike in crime and people can go about their daily business safely.
“The community can also do their bit to keep themselves and others safe this time of year by keeping their homes secure, arranging a safe mode of transport after a night out or checking on elderly neighbours to see if they are OK.”
To report crime call Greater Manchester Police on 101 or 999 in an emergency. Alternatively please contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 111 555.

During Operation Blue Moon www.flickr.com/photos/8212187@N05/49182441817/in/datepost..., the Combined Anti-Terrorism Task Force (CATF) captured an Al-Asad financier. Interrogation of the financier revealed that they were in the process of purchasing radioactive material from Panther (a Russian arms dealer name Ulysses Klaue) as the terror group planned to build several dirty bombs to target Victoria, United States and the United Kingdom. He could not provide further details on the location of Panther, but the TF believed the plan was derailed with his capture. The financier, however, did revealed the location of several high value individuals in the network. The CATF began to surveil these individuals.
Several months later, the CATF captured a high value individual through the intelligence obtained from the financier. The HVI confirmed that Al-Asad did indeed had plans to obtain radioactive materials to build several dirty bombs and the plans became dormant since the capture of the financier. However, the plot had recently been revived. Further, the HVI provided the TF with the location where the terror group will be receiving the materials from Panther. The exchange would occur in an area within the Russian sphere of influence and Panther himself would be at the exchange. However, according to the HVI, security would be light since they wanted to avoid drawing any attention at the exchange. It was expected that they would be traveling in civilian vehicles.
The intelligence was shared among allied nations. After a discussion at the highest Government level, it was decided that CATF would be assigned to capture both the radioactive material and the HVT Panther.
A Victorian special operations task force was assigned with the operation. To keep the operation a secret, a task force out of rotation was assigned. After receiving their orders from the Squadron HQ's SCIF, the team commanders immediately gave Warning Orders to their team members and made preparations to depart for Camp Oasis.

As the Royal Victorian Police Services continue their investigation based on the credible threat from the FBI, the National Security Operations Centre convened another emergency meeting.
The team identified a likely opportunity for an attack would be the eye-dotting ceremony at an upcoming Chinese New Year event. The publicly announced event would be attended by the Prime Minister.
After the meeting, Commander Andrew Scott, Officer Commanding of the Special Mission Unit caught up with Chief Superintendent Mackay.
"I have a feeling that this is it," said Commander Scott. "This is the event they are going to hit."
"I agree." Superintendent Mackay replied. "I want your Tier 1 unit on the ground. Get your team deployed."

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.”
