Clive Grunshaw, police and crime commissioner for Lancashire said: “It’s great to see Op Warrior’s continued success in the fight against organised crime gangs that attempt to operate here in Lancashire.
“I will continue to back the Constabulary to ensure we tackle organised crime at full force – removing drugs from our streets, safeguarding vulnerable people and ensuring that suspects are arrested and brought to justice.
“Getting tough on serious violent crime is a priority in my Police and Crime Plan, and I will continue to hold the Chief Constable to account for tackling organised crime and making Lancashire a safe place for all.”
