Blackpool Neighbourhood Policing Teams have executed two Misuse of Drug Warrants at addresses in the Brunswick area.
There have been several arrests made for alleged offences of modern day slavery involving children, possession with intent to supply Class A drugs, money laundering, handling stolen goods and possession of class B drugs.
A spokesperson for Lancashire Police said: ‘’These warrants deliver a clear picture that we will not tolerate this activity here in Blackpool.
‘’Individuals involved in this activity often exploit the most vulnerable people in society, targeting them for their addictions, financial struggle and age.
‘’Drugs, modern day slavery and money laundering have a detrimental impact on our society, and lead children down negative paths they should never be on. It is our job to protect these children and that is why today's actions are so important.
‘’With the help of community intelligence, multi-agency work and positive action, Strike Days like today become possible to make your neighbourhood a safer place.’’
