might be abit of a crackdown when it comes to parlours getting raided
That is, of course, a possibility.
However, in the past, parlour raids in the Manchester area have tended to be as a result of specific suspicions (such as drugs or money laundering) about individual establishments. I am not aware of any general crackdowns before.
I guess we'll find out over the next few days.
Must have been something specific (e.g. somebody said it was linked with trafficking or drugs or something) otherwise why now?
I don't think anyone has said why Sandy's was raided. I think there is only speculation, so far.
