Three arrested and Class A drugs seized after police spot vehicle ‘acting suspiciously’ in Accrington
Three people were arrested and Class A drugs were seized after police observed a vehicle “acting suspiciously” in Accrington.
Officers spotted the vehicle in the Springhill area on Wednesday.
After stopping it, police conducted a search of the three occupants and discovered a quantity of what is believed to be Class A drugs.
A 24-year-old man from Blackburn, a 49-year-old man from Accrington and a 31-year-old woman from Oswaldtwistle were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a Class A drug.
The operation formed part of Operation Warrior, Lancashire Police's initiative to combat serious and organised crime across the region, with support from Police and Crime Commissioner Clive Grunshaw.
This operation targets criminal gangs and individuals involved in activities such as drug trafficking, violence, exploitation, intimidation, and fraud—issues that pose significant risks to local communities.
