Local Operation Targeting E-Bikes and ASB sees four arrests, 11 bike seized, and heroin and crack-cocaine recovered

A dedicated team of 50 officers seized heroin, crack-cocaine, swords, and e-bikes in a proactive evening of action tackling crime last night.

 Using multiple resources and neighbourhood policing teams from surrounding areas, officers were out in force across Gorton, Abbey Hey, and Levenshulme to take proactive action against e-bikes and anti-social behaviour.

This included the use of our drone unit, marked and unmarked vehicles, and foot patrols, who operated in the areas from early afternoon until late in the evening.

Throughout the deployment, officers secured four arrests, stop-searched 30 individuals, seized 11 illegal e-bikes, and located numerous quantities of drugs.

This included heroin and crack-cocaine wraps, as well as multiple bags of cannabis, ranging in multiple weights and sizes. In addition, offensive weapons including two swords were recovered during the course of a house search.
