Police have carried out a search warrant in Reddish as part of a crackdown on illegal drugs.

The search took place on Friday 1 May, as part of "an effort to tackle the supply of controlled drugs"

"The illegal drug market is a cross-cutting issue which causes significant problems for the communities of Greater Manchester", Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said in a drugs strategy report from last year.

"This includes drug related crime, drug related deaths, anti-social behaviour, and the impact on addiction and mental health."

Following the search in Reddish, police also encouraged residents to report any drug activity which they notice or suspect.

"We encourage anyone with information about drug activity to report this at GMP online reporting, GMP live chat or to CrimeStoppers", a spokesperosn said.
