A man has been arrested and Class A drugs seized after police carried out a warrant at a property in Fleetwood.
Officers from Lancashire Police executed a Section 23 Misuse of Drugs Act warrant at an address on Warrenhurst Road on Friday, December 19.
During the search, police recovered a quantity of Class A drugs along with a “considerable amount” of cash.
A 33-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.
He has since been released on bail while further forensic enquiries are carried out.
Task Force Sergeant Andy Ward said drug dealing has a “huge impact” on local communities and reassured residents that police will act on information they receive.
“We know drug dealing has a huge impact on our communities, and we want to reassure residents that we will act on information, and follow through with the necessary actions, such as a warrant,” he said.
“This warrant was executed as a part of our involvement in the Government’s Clear, Hold, Build framework. We will continue to work hard to clear any and all criminal activity in Fleetwood, whilst joining forces with partners to ensure that Fleetwood is an unwelcome environment for criminals.
“I would urge anyone with information to report it directly to us, or anonymously via Crimestoppers. We take reports of serious and organised crime very seriously we will not tolerate such criminality in our area”
