Guns and ammunition uncovered during drugs raid at Monsall house

Guns, ammunition and drugs have all been uncovered in a drugs bust at a house in Monsall.

The haul comes as police believe the seized items are linked to organised crime in north Manchester.

A viable revolver, ammunition, live shot gun cartridges and class A drugs were discovered after a warrant that was executed on Queens Road, Monsall, according to Greater Manchester Police. The bust took place at 8am on Thursday, November 17.

The seizures have 'prevented the supply of cocaine', say detectives.

Detective Inspector Tim Berry, of the North Manchester Challenger team, said: “Acting on information and conducting the warrant has ensured the seizure of a dangerous weapon and prevented the supply of cocaine.

“The investigation is ongoing and at this stage we believe the items are linked to an organised crime group operating in the area.

“I’d encourage anyone within the community who has information to please get in contact with police on 101 quoting log 714 of the 17/11/22 or to contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”

No arrests have yet been made.
