Warrant executed across Oldham and Bury sees two men arrested

Date published: 14 August 2019


GMP and partner agencies took part in a planned warrant this morning (Wednesday 14th August 2019) across two properties in Bury and Oldham as part of Operation Dynamo.

As well as a range of GMP officers, there were also partnership agencies in attendance including, the stolen vehicle unit, the Environment Agency and Trading Standards.

Various vehicle parts were seized, together with £2,000 in cash and a further two suspected stolen vehicles were found at a second address.

One man in his 30’s was arrested on suspicion of theft and handling of stolen vehicles.

A second man in his 20’s was arrested on suspicion of theft and handling of stolen vehicles.
The two men remain in custody.

Detective Constable Gill Lee said, “This is a great result and has been made possible thanks to the collaborative working across partner agencies.

“Operation Dynamo is GMP’s approach to cracking down on car thefts across Greater Manchester, and these arrests highlight the excellent partnership work that has taken place by our colleagues.

“The objective is to disrupt and ultimately dismantle any criminal enterprise, while gathering evidence to secure prosecutions supported by both GMP and partner agencies.”
