They remained in police custody for questioning today (Saturday) following the raids by officers from GMPs Oldham Complex Safeguarding Team on Friday. A large quantity of class B drugs were recovered, according to GMP.
The force said the raid was part of an operation aimed at tackling county lines drug dealers who traffic narcotics across county boundaries, usually from cities to rural towns and often using vulnerable addicts.
Following the raids, Detective Inspector Nicholas Helme, of GMP's Oldham division, said: "This was a good result for the safeguarding team yesterday morning with two arrests made.
"GMP is determined to crack down on drug use and the exploitation of vulnerable people that comes with county lines.
"As always we need the public's help in making sure that these criminals face justice, so I'd like to take this opportunity to urge anyone who has information about the supply of drugs in their local area, or anyone who thinks that a person may be at risk of exploitation to please contact police, so we can continue to keep on making Greater Manchester a safer place to live."
