Subsequently, Sam Bridges, aged 33, Harvey Brooks, aged 24, were both arrested and charged with drug offences.

Sgt Andy Ward, of the Wyre Task Force, said: “Drug supply in our communities will never be tolerated.
“Drug dealing brings serious harm to our communities, and our officers work tirelessly to identify and disrupt those who think they can profit from illegal drugs, and this result shows that we will not hesitate to take robust action. I hope this sentence reassures residents that we are committed to keeping our neighbourhoods safe and holding offenders to account.
“I would encourage anyone with information or concerns regarding drug supply in their area to report this to us.”
The action was taken as part of Operation Warrior, Lancashire Police's response to tackling serious and organised crime, and is backed by Police and Crime Commissioner Clive Grunshaw.
