Litres of suspected THC worth £2.5m seized in raid

A total of 25 litres of suspected THC liquid was also found

About £2.5m worth of a suspected class B drug, used in liquid form to produce illegal e-cigarettes and vapes, has been seized by police at a home in Greater Manchester.

The region's police force discovered five containers of a total of 25 litres of suspected pure THC during the raid in Elm Way, Oldham on Tuesday.

Officers also found £150,000 in cash, a Sur-ron motorcycle, and other luxury items.

Three adults and a teenager have been arrested on suspicion of drug production and supply, and possession of criminal property, a Greater Manchester Police spokesman said.

All three have been released on bail, he added.

Officers said they discovered a "professional setup" at the property, with a large number of cigarettes and vapes for wholesale and bulk supply after community-led intelligence.

Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is a cannabis derivative and a class B controlled drug which is illegal to produce, distribute and possess.

Police found large quantities of notes bundled together during the raid

Police said the raid followed "community-led intelligence around the illegal production and supply of THC e-cigarettes and vapes across Greater Manchester".

It included reports of vapes supplied to children, who reportedly became unwell after using them.

Sgt Tom Layton of Greater Manchester Police said: "We're particularly pleased to have been able to seize such a high value of assets from the property.

"But most importantly put a stop to the illegal sale and supply of illicit products which can cause harm in our communities."

The raid occurred before a nationwide ban on the sale and supply of single-use vapes comes into force on Sunday.
