Cheetham Hill 'like a ghost town' after Christmas crackdown on Counterfeit Street
A week of action in Cheetham Hill's 'Counterfeit Street' has left the area feeling 'like a ghost town', police say. Three people were arrested, a number of drugs and vehicles seized and nearly two dozen people fined as officers and council officials flooded the area as part of Operation Vulcan.
Greater Manchester Police say they were this week 'out in full force disrupting the counterfeit trade in the area.'"With the majority of illegitimate shops unable to open out of fear that their fake goods would be seized, the streets were a lot quieter, allowing officers to spend time engaging with members of public and gathering intel" they said.
Officers were also joined by Manchester City Council parking wardens, members of the blue badge fraud unit, and representatives from Biffa Waste management.Inspector Andrew Torkington, one of GMP’s specialist officers involved in Operation Vulcan said: “These days of action go a long way to help make the local area safer.
