They remain in police custody for questioning.
This morning, Wednesday 28 June, officers executed nine warrants in Cheetham Hill and Higher Broughton, with a further warrant in Burnley, Lancashire.
The raids were part of an investigation into a series of 13 cash-in-transit robberies, predominantly in the Cheetham Hill and Broughton areas, and 23 crimes of money laundering.
A police spokesperson said the offenders brandished weapons whilst using threats and violence against cash-in-transit guards in order to steal cash boxes.
