Drug gang busted near Blackburn hotel after police trace dealer’s car. Arrests made, drugs and cash seized.
It started last Wednesday, February 12th. Officers spotted a drug deal happening near Bolton Road in Blackburn and arrested a man right then. Police found his car at a hotel nearby in the Blakey Moor area.
Two guys then went inside the hotel and came out after thirty minutes. They got into their car, and officers moved in, but the car tried to escape, forcing the police to break the car windows to gain access.
They arrested both men inside the car, finding cash and phones. They also arrested a third man inside the hotel, finding drugs, cash, and more phones there.
The gang used the hotel for over a week, recruiting customers through phone messages and offering free samples to get things going, hoping to start a new drug business.
All three men got charged with drug crimes and must go to Preston Crown Court next month. They are now being held in custody, and police want the public’s help to find other drug activity.
