The raid was conducted by Greater Manchester Police's Operation Challenger team, which tackles serious and organised crime. Challenger officers from south Manchester conducted the raid, following intelligence they had received in their own work.
DI Lee Newburn, from GMP’s Challenger team, said: “Operation Challenger is dedicated to taking drugs and harmful substances off the streets of Greater Manchester. This morning’s find means that we have now taken another chunk of suspected illicit drugs out of circulation and protected people from the dangers that they pose.
“We will continue tackling drugs, disrupting the people who sell them, and cracking down on all criminality that can arise from them. We rely on the public for information and their tip-offs can greatly improve our work and when we act.
"If you have any information about anything you believe to be suspicious, you can contact us on 101, via gmp.police.uk, or by calling the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111."
