Teenager arrested after wraps of suspected heroin and crack cocaine seized in Pendle

The haul was discovered yesterday afternoon (Monday).

In a Facebook post, a spokesman for Colne and West Craven Police said: "Officers from the Taskforce have been patrolling hotspots within the Colne area which have been raised and highlighted from concerned members of the public. A male was searched under the Misuse of Drugs Act on Thomas Street, in Colne, whereby numerous wraps of suspected heroin and crack cocaine were located along with other items that are linked to the supply of drugs. Officers also seized a knuckle duster, which shows the potential violence that is linked to drugs.
