Five arrests as cocaine, heroin and £20,000 seized in blitz on organised crime

Five men have been arrested after class A drugs and £20,000 in suspected dirty cash were seized during a blitz on organised crime. Police swooped in a series of dawn raids across Bolton yesterday (March 2).

At 5am, Greater Manchester Police executed four warrants at addresses on Oxford Grove, Harvest Park, Southfield Street and Lonsdale Road. The officers, from the Challenger organised crime team in Bolton, seized 'large amounts' of cocaine and heroin that were believed to be linked to county lines drug dealing.

Five men - aged 21, 23, 35, 48 and 51 - were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply class A drugs. They remain in police custody today (Friday).
