Millions of pounds of drugs have been discovered when police raided a property in Fleetwood.
On Wednesday 30th October, officers executed a drugs warrant on Station Road in the town.
Inside the property was a large cannabis grow containing a total of 1,300 plants, with an estimated street value of £2.3 million pounds.
There was also evidence that the electricity had been bypassed, and Electricity North West attended to ensure the area was safe.
Four men were arrested and taken into custody. They were later charged and remanded to custody to appear at Lancaster Magistrates Court. They are:
Sokrat Tafa, 37, of no fixed address
Agim Met-Hasani, 41, of no fixed address
Olsi Ymerali, 36, of no fixed address
Xhuliano Muka, 27, of no fixed address.
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.
Lancashire Police and Crime Commissioner Clive Grunshaw said: "I fully support Op Warrior to crack down on organised crime in Lancashire by targeting gangs and stripping criminals of their cash, cars and other ill-gotten gains.
"The message is clear in Lancashire; organised crime will not be tolerated, and I will continue to work alongside Lancashire Police and ensure they are tackling the gangs responsible, as well as working closely with our partners to prevent young people from getting drawn into criminality in the first place."
