The second male was arrested for possession of Class A drugs and failure to appear (FTA) in court. He was charged and remanded in custody. A car, which was used in the crime, was also seized.

The third male was arrested for possession of Class A drugs and possession of a bladed article.

The fourth male was summoned for driving without a licence or insurance on Dicken Green Lane. An off-road motorbike was seized under Section 165 of the RTA.

The fifth male was subjected to a stop and search under Section 23. Although nothing was found, he attempted to purchase drugs following the first arrest for possession with intent to supply and tried to flee.

The sixth male was subjected to another stop and search under Section 23. This known drug user was found at the location of drug dealing and attempted to walk away from officers.

The seventh male was also subjected to a stop and search under Section 23. He was in the vicinity where the possession with intent to supply offender was arrested.

The series of arrests is part of a broader initiative to improve safety and reduce crime in Rochdale.
