Police hail force planning after drug raids

This is a significant recovery and has come about as a result of months of investigative work and planning.

Bringing to justice those who blight our communities by peddling drugs is an absolute priority for officers across Stockport and today's seizure will significantly dent the activities and ambitions of those involved in such activity.

If anyone has any information about those involved in the sale and supply of drugs I would urge them to contact the police in absolute confidence.

– Inspector Steve Dix, Greater Manchester Police
