Nineteen nominals suspected to be involved in the supply of Class A and B drugs across Greater Manchester have been arrested this morning (Tuesday 3 November 2026).
At 6am, officers from our Serious Organised Crime Group (SOCG) , colleagues across GMP, North West Regional Crime Unit (NWROCU) and Tactical Aid Unit (TAU) executed 21 simultaneous warrants.
Sixteen in Bolton, two in Wigan, two in Lancashire, one in Salford and another in Manchester.
This morning of action comes off the back of an investigation that has been running for the last couple of months, into a drugs line that has been operational since October 2020.
It is believed that at least 4.2kg of Class A drugs has been moved via this line.
Following a strike at one of the addresses in Bolton, on Egerton Street in Farnworth, officers located a significant amount of Class A drugs, believed to be crack cocaine, heroin and cannabis. As well as weighing scales, a cannabis grinder and plastic bags.
At another address, 30 wraps of what is believed to be cocaine was recovered from a vehicle which is suspected to be linked to one of the drug line couriers.
Fourteen men and five women have all been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply Class A and B drugs.
They all remain in custody for questioning.
