Two people have been arrested after police seized class A drugs during a dawn raid in Heywood in a suspected county lines crime operation.

A 20-year-old man and 21-year-old woman were detained at a property on Tower Street at 6am on Tuesday.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) officers from Rochdale’s Challenger organised crime team recovered 100 wraps of crack cocaine and heroin and a knife.

Detective Inspector Stuart Round said: “This morning’s (Tuesday) arrest is believed to be linked to an organised crime group we suspect is part of a county lines criminal network that has been supplying class A drugs across Greater Manchester.

“We also suspect the criminal network to have been cuckooing people who are vulnerable by forcing their way into the homes to use it as a place to store and deal drugs.

“We’re continuing to be relentless in our pursuit of serious and organised crime and I want to take this opportunity to encourage the public to continue reporting drug activity so we can keep taking action.”
