Police seized a huge haul of drugs together with an off-road bike and what's believed to be an extendable baton after swooping on a property in Salford today.
Officers said the motorbike had 'previously been identified to be involved on anti-social behaviour and drug dealing' connected to an estate. Police in Salford confirmed a 'male juvenile' was subsequently arrested.
It's understood he's now being questioned by officers in custody after his arrest on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class B drugs and possession of an offensive weapon. He hasn't been named.
Police said the seizures and arrest related to Salford's Ordsall estate.
On Facebook, they shared photographs of plastic bags and tin foil wraps filled with drugs as well as an image of the suspected baton. No further information has been revealed.
Police said officers initially attended the address in Ordsall to enquire about the sale of stolen bicycles.
In a Facebook post, GMP Salford said: "Officers from the Salford South East Neighbourhood Team attended an address in Ordsall this morning to make enquires in relation to the sale of stolen pedal bikes.
"As a result of the visit a male juvenile was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class B drugs and possession of offensive weapon.
"An off road bike was also seized that had previously been identified to be involved on anti-social behaviour and drug dealing in the Ordsall area.
"GMP continues to tackle drug crime and anti-social behaviour in your area. If the public have any information in relation to drug dealing and off road bikes in the Salford area they can report the information anonymously via GMP online report or Crimestoppers."
