The raids were carried out as part of a crackdown into child exploitation in Rochdale
Six men were arrested and £30,000 in cash was seized as police smashed their way into homes in Rochdale this morning.
All were taken into custody. Officers also seized £30,000 in cash as part of the organised crime probe, as well as cannabis and drugs paraphernalia.Police had previously 'safeguarding concerns' from the area. They found a teenage boy was being 'exploited and coerced into drug dealing by a suspected local gang'.
The six suspects will now be quizzed by detectives. Sergeant Mark Lutkevitch from our Rochdale Challenger team said: "Exploitation, coercion, and violence are the foundations of modern slavery and drugs trafficking, and gangs will often exploit the vulnerable to further their profits. "We have specialist officers working with young people in our communities to tackle the vicious cycle of gang recruitment, and teams of officers on the frontline pursuing offenders. Our communities are key in helping us be one step ahead of the criminals.
