POLICE officers swooped on homes in Bury in a series of dawn raids early on Thursday.
Eight properties in the north of the borough, together with four in Rochdale and one in Cheetham Hill, were raided by tactical aid unit officers at 6.40am and a number of arrests were made.
Around 60 police officers were involved in the operation following months of intelligence gathering by Bury police.
The people arrested were taken to Bury and Middleton police stations as officers searched the homes for drugs and other evidence.
