Drugs, cash, phones, and high-performance cars have all been seized following raids in Accrington and Burnley this morning, police have said.

Seven men aged between 20 and 38 have been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply class A drugs and are currently in custody.

Police said enquiries are ongoing.

Operation Warrior is Lancashire Police’s response to tackling serious and organised crime in Lancashire, supported by Police and Crime Commissioner Clive Grunshaw.

It aims to target 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.

Anyone with information about suspected drug dealing in their community is encouraged to report it to Lancashire Police via 101 or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
