Two suspected drug dealers have been arrested following a series of early morning police raids.

Officers from Greater Manchester Police's City of Manchester Central Challenge team hit addresses in Macclesfield, Wythenshawe and Warrington on Thursday, September 29.

Two men, aged 28 and 30, were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply class A drugs, namely crack cocaine and heroin – one in Wythenshawe and one in Macclesfield.

Detective Sergeant Mark Graham said: "Drugs and drug dealers bring misery to our communities and we will proactively take down supply lines and criminals dealing in drugs.

"We act on and follow lines of enquiry from the public and I would urge anyone who has information to please get in touch with us.

"Even the smallest amount of information could lead to the recovery of drugs, a weapon or the arrest of a dangerous individual."
