Woman arrested for drugs offences following raids in East Lancashire

This week, the North West Regional Organised Crime Unit (NWROCU) carried out search warrants at addresses in Burnley and Clitheroe. 

A 47 year old woman from Sabden, Ribble Valley, was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of controlled drugs. 

During the raids, officers seized approximately 300,000 tablets, suspected to be Class C drugs, 20kg of Class B drugs, and more than £70,000 cash from a storage unit in Burnley. 

Detective Sergeant Jamie Illingworth commented,

"These arrests demonstrate our commitment to tackling serious and organised crime, and taking drugs off the streets which blight our communities. We will continue to work tirelessly to protect our communities and bring those responsible to justice."
