A man has been charged with carrying £20,000 worth of cocaine and heroin following a police pursuit in Fleetwood.

Officers on patrol in the Heathfield Road area chased the man after he fled from them yesterday.

"These drugs have been tested and found to be worth over £20,000 at street level," a spokesman for Lancashire Police said.

Being involved in the supply of crack cocaine between December 24, 2024, and March 25, 2025
