The suburb dubbed Britain’s ‘crazy vape shop capital’

Greater Manchester Police launched ‘Operation Vulcan’ to tackle organised crime in the neighbourhood.

In 2024 police reported they had seized almost 1,050 tonnes of counterfeit items, shut down 216 counterfeit shops, made 238 arrests and seized over £500,000 cash. They also found almost 400,000 illicit vapes.

Det Supt Neil Blackwood said: “By decimating the counterfeit trade and systematically shutting down every shop, warehouse and storage unit involved, we’ve seen a reduction in violent crime, vehicle crime and theft from person.

“Drug dealing is no longer blatant and the community report that they feel safer.”
