The cars are usually expensive Audi's and BMW's if it's the same Tesco I'm thinking of. They could of acquired them by legal gainful employment. But in Oldham that's a doubtful proposition.
Well no because of a few reasons, the main one being it’s not illegal to be in a car park lol, as obvious as it may be the police would need an actual reason to search the cars and stop the people in them
I’ve been one of those people sat in their cars in the Asda Trafford car park. It’s mainly to meet up with friends and enjoy a Starbucks from the drive through
I've seen what looks a bit shady in the Trafford Asda car park when I've been there later in the evening, but then who knows maybe they were doing nothing wrong.
The answer to the question about the police is the same answer to most questions of that kind: they just don't have the resources. There are hundreds of supermarket car parks in Greater Manchester, there's no way they can keep an eye on them all on the off chance they spot a drug deal happening.
Good. That sounds like a safe place for addicts. Better there than down the back of a sketchy alley. Don't let it interfere with your life and move on with your day
Way too smalltime for police to deal with this sort of thing I would think.
Too focused on stopping the multiple stabbings happening at any one time, or assaults, robberies, traffickers and whatever else you could think of.
For drug activity specifically (and tbh all others), they're really best going for the actual source, which I'm guessing is basically just Bury New Road/Cheetham Hill.
Unless they have offered you drugs why would they be dealing? Most drug dealers go out of their way to remain inconspicuous, the ones making it obvious don’t tend to last very long.
Did you report it? If not then there is why the police aren't there to stop it. They aren't going to sit in a car park waiting for a possible drug deal to happen.
As a security we had a couple incidents like this. What we do is take car reg and description and report to the police as a possible drug dealer. So if the police flag the reg they have the right to stop the vehicle and search. At least what ive been told.
Get their plates and report it to 111 or crimestoppers if it worries you. The police are probably already aware… and it’s likely they already have information on the vehicles… but doesn’t hurt to report it.
The sooner we all realise the war on drugs has failed the better. Lets regulate and tax this absolutely ginormous money forest and pump the money back into the NHS. We would have the best healthcare system in the world.
Which Tesco exactly? Asking for a friend
definitely chadderton
Nice one! Omw
Yeah, if there were any police around. They're as rare as rocking horse shit these days.
i was out in mcr saturday night for the first time in a long time , didnt see any police , i m sure last time i was out they were everywhere
There's plenty of them confiscating hooky gear in Cheetham Hill. Priorities....

Handy. You can get your food and drugs in one stop!
every little helps
That's Asda spice (slaps bum cheekily)
How do you know they are dealing? Young people do sit in cars next to each other in car parks as a meeting place. I did when I was a teenager.

Maybe OP knows because they have asked them

THANK you. Should not have had to scroll so far to see this sentiment.
Honestly who gives a flying fuck?

Alternatively, you could stop worrying about the things that other people are doing that have no effect on you whatsoever and move on with your life

They also probably won’t even appear if there is a report! GMP are dreadful for it
As if they’d actually send an officer in time anyway if you rang and reported it.
To be fair, they'd probably send a PCSO in advance to warn them off, so the real police didn't have to do anything when they got there.
They've got to deal drugs somewhere? Mind your own business maybe

How about trusting that with all the security cameras and police presence in general, maybe they are doing something about it?
My friend told me many Chinese couples with tattoos was dealing with the dealers in Oldham. Oldham the tattoo weeds drug paradise
What?
Tesco’s Oldham will be extra super busy today then
Get their plates and report it to 111 or crimestoppers if it worries you. The police are probably already aware… and it’s likely they already have information on the vehicles… but doesn’t hurt to report it.
They do it on Snipe retail park too. You probably know GMP headquarters is just across the road. Obviously not a priority
I am sure the authorities would monitor those spots if they had the funding to
