Weapons, drugs and 'large amounts of cash' have all been seized as part of a major clampdown on crime. Greater Manchester Police officers descended on Salford yesterday (August 24) for Operation Avro.
It was the second time the city had hosted the monthly operation, which takes place in a different Greater Manchester borough each month. The event saw extra resources and specially-trained officers from across the force swoop on Salford, with a focus on crimes that 'matter most' to the community, GMP says.
Police made 30 arrests and searched a number of properties, as well as carrying out an underwater search at Salford Quays. District officers also targeted anti-social behaviour and burglary hotspots.
