🚔 Op Eagle Eye | Charlestown – Team 2 🚔

Officers from Op Eagle Eye have made two arrests following proactive patrols in the Charlestown area of Manchester.

Officers observed males acting suspiciously around a property, arriving and leaving on Surron bikes and repeatedly moving items in and out of an address. When officers approached, both males made off from the area.

During the pursuit, one male was seen discarding items into a nearby bin. These items were later recovered and identified as Class A drugs. The male continued to make off but was subsequently located inside an address and arrested on suspicion of:

✅ Possession with Intent to Supply Controlled Drugs
✅ Possession of a Bladed Article in a Private Place

A search of the address led to the recovery of a quantity of suspected drugs, cash, and several knives.

Officers later located the second male, who was also arrested on suspicion of Possession with Intent to Supply Controlled Drugs.

💬 Sergeant Dand from the Neighbourhood Policing Team said:
