Two arrests have been made after a knife, two vehicles and 100 wraps of class A drugs were seized in a dawn raid. Detectives believe they have dented an organised crime group, operating across Greater Manchester, which has been exploiting vulnerable people.
A 20 year-old man and 21 year old woman were detained at a property on Tower Street, Heywood, following the raid at 6am today (March 14). Greater Manchester Police says its officers from the Rochdale Challenger organised crime team uncovered crack cocaine and heroin worth an approximate £1,000.
It's believed the drugs were to be sold by an organised crime group operating under a 'county lines' model - with the drugs advertised for sale via a mobile phone, before being moved by dealers onto other streets, or even other places across the country. GMP also believes the organised criminals rumbled had been exploiting people through the practise known as 'cuckooing'.
