A passerby says that a tactical ops police car rushed down the street to block it off from traffic, and that several officers lined the pavement to keep pedestrians at a safe distance.

Around seven plain clothes officers with masks over their faces can be seen exiting a high performance BMW outside a property on the street.

West Yorkshire Police said that they had carried out the operation in Blackpool as part of a cross-border crack down on the supply of drugs.

They confirmed that three men, all aged 21, were arrested during the raid on suspicion of conspiracy to supply class A drugs.

The men are all from the West Yorkshire area, and remain in custody.
