During today’s Transport AVRO (Thursday 6 July 2023), officers from our Tactical Vehicle Intercept Unit (TVIU) successfully stopped a vehicle on the City of Manchester district and uncovered over a large amount of Class A drugs with a street value of more than £100,000 as well as a suspected stolen high-value Rolex watch estimated to be valued at around £20,000 and an offensive weapon.
A 36-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs, theft and possessing an offensive weapon and he remains in custody for questioning by detectives.
On the latest result, Inspector Danny Kabal from GMP’s Tactical Vehicle Intercept Unit said; “Our TVIU officers are constantly patrolling the streets of Greater Manchester day and night, with the sole purpose of detecting and disrupting organised crime.
"Today’s result showcases the impact the TVIU has on keeping our communities safe and it sends a clear message to criminals who think they are free to use our roads to commit their crimes.
"The public expect us to find these people, lock them up and seize their criminal assets and that is exactly what we will continue to do."
