The sting came in the latest 'day of action' by officers in the town
A large cannabis farm was uncovered in a former retail unit after a police helicopter spotted a suspicious 'heat source' while flying over Stockport.
A cannabis farm with around 100 plants was discovered inside. A 31-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of the cultivation of cannabis. He was said to have been 'helping officers with their enquiries'.Sgt James Senior, from the Stockport Central Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: "We will work with our community who gives us information and we will act on that information.
A large number of both uniformed, mounted and plain-clothes officers were out and about as Operation Rimini, which was launched last summer to tackle shoplifting, anti-social behaviour and other forms of crime in and around the town centre and Edgeley.It has seen GMP put more 'boots on the ground' in a bid to catch and deter offenders.
There have also been weapons and more than £121,000 of illegal vapes seized. The arrests in 2023 saw offenders serve 57 weeks of jail time and 120 hours of community service. And the force says they have seen a 52 percent reduction in anti-social behaviour in December.
