"The address in question had been on our radar for some time and is well-known to be heavily involved in the supply of class A substances and a root cause of anti-social behaviour within the local area. "The execution of the warrant forms one aspect of what will be a period of intensification tackling those organised crimes groups and drug lines who are intent on praying on our communities most vulnerable and flooding our streets with illicit substances." ‌ --- Day in day out, our reporters in the Manchester Evening News newsroom bring you remarkable stories from all aspects of Mancunian life.
