    Police executed a number of warrants across Greater Manchester and the North West aimed at disrupting the cultivation and supply of cannabis.

    On Wednesday 3 October, officers from GMP’s Serious Crime Division and Rochdale searched four addresses in Heywood, three in Rochdale, one in Bury and another in Preston, Lancashire as part of Operation Houdini.

    Police say they recovered large quantities of cash and drugs during the raids.
