    56 people were arrested and 494 fines issued as part of a two-week crackdown on crime and antisocial behaviour on Greater Manchester’s transport network.

    The initiative, which was carried out from 6 to 19 November, included covert and overt patrols and a drone being used in the Rochdale area to deter criminality. In addition, court warrants were issued to retrieve unpaid fines.

    People were arrested for a variety of offences including possession of drugs, shoplifting and recall to prison.

    There were also seven arrests for non-payment of outstanding fines worth a combined total of £9,550.

    Nearly 500 fines were issued for non-payment of tickets and 27 people were surrendered to the courts for outstanding fines worth £31,000.

    During the operation 11 people registered as missing were also located by officers.
