A man in his 20s was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A and B controlled drugs and possession of an offensive weapon in a private place.
He remains in custody ahead of being questioned.
Detective Inspector James Coles from GMP’s Economic Unit Money Laundering Team said: “We will not tolerate criminals in our communities in Greater Manchester.
“The arrest we’ve made today is a fantastic step towards an ongoing drugs and money laundering operation officers have been heavily involved in.
“We will continue and carry on targeting those suspected to be involved in criminal activity and seize assets and cash which can be reinvested into the communities of Greater Manchester and funnelled to those who need it.”
