by Ashlie Blakey · Manchester Evening NewsA man tried to launch bags full of drugs from a window when police came knocking on his door.
Officers attended the property in the Fallowfield on Wednesday (November 27) to carry out an 'arrest attempt'. When they arrived, they saw a man wearing a red top 'throwing multiple bags from a first-floor window'.
Police made their way into the house and found the same man in a first-floor bedroom. Inside the bags, they found a 'large amount of cannabis'.

A 21-year-old man was arrested. He has since been released with bail conditions.
