Three Arrested as Police Seize Over £200,000 of Drugs in Rochdale Bust
Rochdale, Greater Manchester – Drugs with an estimated street value of more than £200,000 have been seized and three people arrested after a suspicious vehicle stop in Rochdale on Saturday evening.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) reported that the major operation began when patrol officers spotted a vehicle being driven in a, "suspicious manner". The driver then attempted to flee, abandoning the car.
Before making off on foot, the suspect allegedly tried to hide a quantity of drugs and several mobile phones underneath the vehicle.

Following the discovery, two men and a woman were arrested on suspicion of possession of Class A and B drugs with the intent to supply.
GMP’s County Lines team in Rochdale detailed the successful operation in a social media post on Monday, which included photographs of the seized evidence.
