Two teenagers a man have been arrested on suspicion of drugs offences after dawn raids at addresses in Oldham today, Friday.

The warrants took place at several properties just after 6am.

During the raids, a quantity of controlled drugs was seized.

Two boys aged 17 and a 58-year-old man were arrested in connection with the supply of prohibited drugs.

They remain in custody where they are being questioned.

The raids were carried out by Greater Manchester Police's (GMP) Oldham Central Neighbourhood Policing Team and were part of Operation Vortex.

The operation is an on-going monthly operation which targets a different part of the borough each time as part of a major push to crack down on violence, drugs, weapons and anti-social behaviour.

Police Inspector Nick Derbyshire, of GMP's Oldham division, said: "This was another good result for the team with drugs recovered and three suspects in custody.

"The Central Neighbourhood team are committed to making our communities a safer place to live.

"As always we very much welcome and rely on information from the public to help us to disrupt crime."
