A man has been charged with drug offences following a raid in Fleetwood.

Yesterday (Thursday 7th March 2024), the Wyre Task Force and Neighbourhood Policing Team executed a warrant on Poulton Street.

Upon entering, officers seized a quantity of drugs located in various locations of the property and arrested a male.

James Henderson, 28, of Aughton Street, Fleetwood, has since been charged with three counts of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs and has been bailed by the courts to appear again on 5th April.

Inspector Martin Wyatt, of Fleetwood Police, said: “This result is another example of our relentless action against serious and organised crime in Fleetwood.

“We will continue with our proactive and robust stance to ensure we put offenders before the courts.
