A PUB that was raided by 60 police officers on Friday has reopened.

The Farthings in Roe Lee. Blackburn was targeted in a police operation.

Two people were arrested at the scene but have now been released without charge.

The pub was given a clean bill of health by police who said they had been targeting a number of customers.

A police spokeswoman said that just because drugs had not been found on the premises it did not mean that the raid had not been the right thing to do.

The spokeswoman said police would continue to act on information passed to them from the public.
