Police found a ‘drug den’ in Salford following numerous reports of dealing in the area. Officers in the area were on a patrol around the Clarendon Park area when they spotted the makeshift structure.
The 'den' contained a knife and was the base of operations for a number of drug deals, Greater Manchester Police believe. It has now been pulled down and taken away by the council.
A spokesperson for GMP Salford said in a post on social media: “The Salford South East Neighbourhood Team continues to carry out high visibility patrols in the Clarendon Park area of Salford.
