Armed officers will patrol the Manchester Christmas Markets as police use drones to have 'eyes across the city centre'.
Greater Manchester Police have released details of their planned policing operation ahead of the official opening of the annual festive event tomorrow (Thursday). The force will deploy extra officers, including armed cops, to patrol the city centre over the next six weeks.
Members of the public will be able to spot police dogs and horses in the area. Covert operations will also be carried out as police use dones, CCTV and ANPR cameras to monitor the markets.
