Early‑morning partnership in action

This morning officers from GMP's Saddleworth and Lees Neighbourhood Policing Team joined forces with West Yorkshire Police and National Trading Standards to carry out a planned warrant. The operation targeted reports of suspected illegal trading activity, helping us protect the public from rogue traders.

Thanks to the coordinated work of Trading Standards colleagues, several items were seized and enquiries are now ongoing. We’ll continue working together to safeguard our community and take action where it’s needed.

If you ever need to report concerns about illegal trading, counterfeit goods, or suspicious business activity, you can contact Trading Standards. Where a crime is involved this can be reported directly to the police via 101. In an emergency, always call 999. You can also share information anonymously through Crimestoppers. Every report helps us build a clearer picture and take action where it’s needed.
