Det Con Gill Lee said: "This is a great result and has been made possible thanks to the collaborative working across partner agencies.

"Operation Dynamo is GMP’s approach to cracking down on car thefts across Greater Manchester, and these arrests highlight the excellent partnership work that has taken place by our colleagues.
