Arrests made in Greater Manchester Police's crackdown of Piccadilly Gardens

Officers patrolled the public space in Manchester city centre, which is infamously known as a crime and antisocial behaviour hotspot, on Monday as part of Operation Vulcan. They worked to 'remove offenders' and 'safeguard vulnerable' people in the area.

"These Criminal Behaviour Orders stop certain offenders from entering the area, therefore preventing future crime and further harm, an effective tool to create long-term, sustainable change in Piccadilly Gardens." "We’ve been working with businesses in the area to ensure that their staff feel safe in this environment, and feel confident reporting matters to us, knowing that they will be dealt with robustly. We’ve received positive feedback from the business community about our operation and proactive policing, and we will continue with this work as our operation goes from strength to strength.

Councillor Luthfur Rahman, Deputy Leader of Manchester City Council said: "I've been pleased to see the positive work going on since the launch of Operation Vulcan in Piccadilly Gardens. We know that the area has the potential to be a terrific civic space for all our residents, but for that to become a reality we need to look at addressing some of the long-term issues and problems experienced there.
