Around 300 officers were called up to search properties and arrest suspects believed to be dealing drugs as part of Operation Vulcan.
A massive police operation has seen doors bashed down and dozens arrested in a bid to rid a notorious area of drugs. Greater Manchester Police have been battling to clean up Piccadilly Gardens, with hundreds of officers called up to search properties and arrest suspects believed to be dealing drugs.
So far, approximately £10,000 in cash, hundreds of snap bags filled with drugs and several 'crucial' mobile phones and sim cards have all been seized. Detective Superintendent Neil Blackwood, who is leading Operation Vulcan, said: "The community have been telling us for a long time drug dealing is rife in Piccadilly Gardens.
Operation Vulcan was initiated in the Piccadilly area last September, following its inception a year prior on Bury New Road. The earlier operation led to counterfeit traders shutting down and a crackdown on the illegal drug trade.

Detective Sergeant Matt Donnelly, from Operation Vulcan, stated: "This was a huge operation, using almost 300 officers from across the force, various covert tactics, and specialist resources from across the region. We know how deeply the drugs trade impacts our communities and the violence and depravity it brings with it, which is why we have launched such a major operation to tackle it.
