Police carried out a traffic enforcement operation in Timperley yesterday as part of a borough-wide crackdown which resulted in 32 arrests.
Officers stopped motorists on Shaftesbury Avenue as part of Operation AVRO, a major Greater Manchester Police initiative which sees additional resources deployed to a different district each month.
The traffic operation was one of several enforcement activities carried out across Trafford during the 24-hour operation.
Police said more than 50 traffic offence reports were issued overall, including for offences such as failing to wear a seatbelt and using a mobile phone while driving.
Two vehicles were seized, while two people were arrested on suspicion of impaired driving and another was arrested for an immigration offence.
Greater Manchester Police confirmed that Shaftesbury Avenue was one of the locations used for traffic enforcement.
A spokesperson said there was at least one other traffic stop location, although they were unable to confirm exactly where it was.
The overall figures also include general traffic stops carried out as part of Operation AVRO, meaning not all the offences or arrests can be attributed to the Shaftesbury Avenue operation.
Elsewhere in Trafford, officers carried out a series of early-morning warrants targeting suspected criminal activity.
The raids resulted in the recovery of Class A and Class B drugs, while further arrest attempts targeted suspects wanted in connection with ongoing investigations and breaches of court orders.
Police also deployed live facial recognition technology and knife arches, alongside targeted patrols and stop-and-search activity.
Two arrests were made in the early hours in connection with burglary and going equipped.
The operation also included visits to schools and colleges, information stands in town centres, business drop-ins and care home visits.
Chief Superintendent Mike Allen, Trafford district commander, said: "Across the day, officers secured 32 arrests, seized vehicles, recovered drugs, submitted offence reports, and stop-searched suspects across the entire district.
"While this is a significant planned day of disruption, I must emphasise that this sort of work is constantly carried out, as officers look to tackle crime and protect our communities."
He added that information from residents played an important role in helping police identify suspects and target criminal activity.
