Cars, hooky gear and two tonnes of rubbish removed in Counterfeit St swoop

Last month, it was revealed that the number of dodgy shops around Bury New Road and Great Ducie Street had been slashed from more than 200 to less than 10 since Operation Vulcan was launched last autumn.

But Greater Manchester Police is refusing to get complacent. This week, more than 60 officers returned to the area alongside partner agencies to tackle any criminal activity they could find.

Five people were arrested for a variety of offences, including possession of drugs with the intention to supply and immigration offences. Nine vehicles, a large knife and a large amount of counterfeit clothes were also seized, along with an amount of illegal drugs.
