A 'record breaking' 63 arrests were made after GMP carried out their monthly crime 'blitz' in Rochdale.
During a day of action in the borough, police conducted 11 raids, smashed almost a dozen drug lines, seized £500k's worth of counterfeit items, issued nearly 200 traffic offences, and discovered three large cannabis farms.
GMP's seventh instalment of operation Avro started shortly after midnight on Thursday (April 28). Officers had made 19 arrests before dawn.
