The work forms part of the City of Manchester’s neighbourhood team’s commitment to investigating drugs supply within the city, and acting on intelligence where they can.
PC Thomas Wyatt, from GMP’s Manchester district, said: “We work closely with partner agencies to help with our ongoing community operations, and this was an excellent example of that.
“We are determined to crack down on reports of drugs in the area and we will continue to take action where needed. Manchester’s neighbourhood teams are always doing their best to keep the streets safe and crime-free, so do speak to us if you ever have any concerns or queries.”
