He has since been released under investigation pending further enquiries.

Operation Warrior is the constabulary’s response to the commissioner’s Police and Crime Plan priority of disrupting and dismantling organised crime.

Operation Warrior targets the individuals and gangs involved in crime, as well as associated issues such as violence and intimidation, large scale drug supply, exploitation and fraud, all of which can cause serious harm to local communities.

Andrew Snowden, Police and Crime Commissioner for Lancashire said: "It's important that we send a clear message to criminals that police are coming to get you, and this is another great example of the work officers do, every single day, to disrupt and dismantle organised crime gangs and put them behind bars.”
