Lancashire Evening Post

October 29, 2025

A joint operation between British Transport Police's County Lines Taskforce and Lancashire Police led to 27 arrests, the closure of 12 drug lines, and the seizure of Class A drugs, weapons and large quantities of cash in Blackpool and Preston.

- by Henry Widdas

The operation, conducted on October 14/15, targeted County Lines activity at Blackpool North and Preston railway stations as well as in local communities. In Blackpool, nine men were arrested for possession with intent to supply crack cocaine and heroin.

Officers recovered one knife and two firearms, and six County Lines drug lines were successfully shut down.
