THE North West Regional organised crime unit (TITAN) has arrested ten people - including two from Trafford - after executing eight search warrants across Merseyside and Manchester in relation to the supply of Class A drugs, yesterday.
The eight men and two women, aged between 27 and 56, have been taken to police stations across Manchester where they will be interviewed by detectives.
One man is from Sale, a woman is from Stretford, another woman from Wythenshawe, three of the men and one woman are from the Miles Platting area of Manchester, and one from Childwall, Liverpool. Two other men were also arrested who were originally from Manchester and Liverpool respectively.
Detective Superintendent Jason Hudson said: "This has come as the result of a lengthy and complex investigation by Titan.
"Titan exists to tackle the top tiers of serious organised crime. Illegal drug use causes a great deal of harm within our community.
"We will continue to target those that supply and distribute controlled drugs in our community and this investigation is part of that process."
