Incident on Tonge Moor Road - Tuesday 10th November 2026

Hello;

We are aware that concerns have been raised, along with some speculation on social media, regarding an incident on Tonge Moor Road, near the Co-op, at around 5pm yesterday (10 November).

On the afternoon of 10 November, officers executed a search warrant at an address on Tonge Moor Road. As a result, two adult males were arrested on suspicion of drugs offences.

During the search, officers identified a substance that initially caused some concern. However, following further examination and testing, it is not believed to pose any risk to officers working at scene or residents living nearby. We would like to apologise for any disruption this incident may have caused.

We all know the harm that illegal drugs cause to our communities, and residents regularly tell us that drug dealing and drug use remain key concerns locally.

The information we receive helps shape how we deploy our resources, informs where officers patrol, supports applications to the courts, and helps us understand the impact of drugs and associated crime within our communities.
