Article continues below GMP says it recovered large quantities of Class B drugs and cash. An image shared by the force shows eight snap bags which appear to contain cannabis, plus 16 bags of 'Bando Buddies', also believed to be cannabis. Several pound coins and a wad of bank notes were also recovered from the scene. ‌ All the items were seized by police, who are now working to identify who was responsible. The officers were on patrol as part of Operation Vulcan, which is cracking down on crime in Derker, using similar methods to the previous Vulcan work on 'Counterfeit Street' and at Piccadilly Gardens.
