Police from Tameside investigating modern slavery and drugs trafficking between Tameside and Humberside have arrested three men and a woman this morning (Friday).
Warrants were executed at addresses in Failsworth, Newton Heath and the Northern Quarter area as part of an operation dedicated to disrupting a drugs line between Tameside and Hull that involves the criminal exploitation of vulnerable children.
Officers seized a large quantity of class A drugs, a .22 calibre rifle and ammunition for a handgun, during the raids.
