Police have arrested a man after carrying out a drugs raid on a property in Blackpool.

Officers conducted a drug warrant on Egerton Road on Tuesday morning.

A Blackpool Police spokesperson said they found wraps of suspected drugs, weighing scales and a tick list. 

A 53 year old man from Blackpool was arrested on suspicion of possession of a controlled drug (class A) with intent to supply.

"This warrant was as a direct result from community intelligence and we want to reassure communities that we take reports of drug dealing and wider organised crime incredibly seriously," said a Blackpool Police spokesperson.

"Information provided by the public plays a vital role in helping us identify and disrupt criminal activity, and you can report concerns to us by calling 101 or 999 in an emergency."

You can also report anonymously by calling the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
