An operation to target organised crime has resulted in 67 arrests relating to drug-dealing, firearms offences and assault in Little Hulton and across Salford.
Greater Manchester Police says that over 100 weapons have been recovered, 121 stop-searches carried out and 67 arrests have been made in connection with suspected offences including drugs possession and dealing, firearms offences, theft, assault, burglary, anti-social behaviour offences and more.
Cops say cash has been seized, hundreds of cannabis plants recovered and destroyed, and multiple children who were at threat of exploitation given the appropriate safeguards.
Detective Inspector Rebecca McGuigan, from GMP’s Salford Challenger Team, said: “The work being done in Little Hulton has seen multiple arrests, resulting in charges for offences ranging from drugs to weapons.
“Working closely with our partners in the community, we have been able to ensure repeat offenders are closely monitored by everyone from housing to local PCSOs, meaning they can receive the appropriate warning, notice, or punishment.”
Sergeant Helen Matthews, from the local neighbourhood team, said: “The local Little Hulton neighbourhood team have continued to support and provide numerous officers for the ongoing operation in the area, conducting patrols, warrants, and more as we work towards ridding the streets of violent crime and the nuisance ASB that can come from it.
“Neighbourhood officers are regularly on patrol and we will always keep an eye out for areas flagged with us by members of the community.
“If you have had any issues with somewhere in particular – whether that be an address, street, or area – please do get in touch with us.
“All of your intelligence and tip-offs greatly enhances our ability to know who is causing problems and where – and subsequently means we can crack down with the relevant punishments.”
