The warrant was executed by the Rochdale Neighbourhood Team on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, after receiving information that the occupant of the property was involved in the illegal supply of drugs.
Upon serving the warrant on a male at the address, officers conducted a thorough search. This led to the discovery and seizure of an unspecified quantity of illicit substances, along with an illegal ‘zombie knife’ – a type of large, often serrated, bladed weapon prohibited under UK law due to its intimidating appearance and potential for serious harm.

PCSO Andrew Stewart of the Rochdale Neighbourhood Team issued a community message regarding the incident, emphasising the crucial role of public cooperation in tackling illegal activity.
