The man was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A and B controlled drugs as well as the possession of an offensive weapon in a private place. He remains in custody.
Greater Manchester Police’s Economic Unit Money Laundering Team described the seizure and arrest as a ‘fantastic step towards’ a crackdown on drugs and financial activity in the city-region.
Detective Inspector James Coles said: “We will not tolerate criminals in our communities in Greater Manchester.
“The arrest we’ve made today is a fantastic step towards an ongoing drugs and money laundering operation officers have been heavily involved in.
“We will continue and carry on targeting those suspected to be involved in criminal activity and seize assets and cash which can be reinvested into the communities of Greater Manchester and funnelled to those who need it.”
Anyone with information about suspicious financial activity can report it online via the GMP website or by calling 101. Details can also be passed anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
