Three people have been arrested
Weapons, gold bars and drugs were seized as police knocked down doors in Blackburn to investigate a violent attack.
Three men were arrested as Lancashire Constabulary investigated an incident which saw a car deliberately driven into earlier this year. The Volkswagen Passat was smashed into on Lincoln Road at around 5pm before the driver was attacked by a group of men using weapons. The victim escaped serious injury and a police investigation led to raids in the Sunnybower, Highercroft, Pleckgate, Feniscowles, Whalley Range and Witton areas of Blackburn this morning. As a result, three men, aged 23, 27 and 28, from Blackburn have been arrested on suspicion of violent disorder and they remain in custody.Officers also seized mobile phones, cannabis, cash, gold bars and weapons including a baton and a lock knife.
Temp/DS Cheryl Taylor, of Blackburn CID, said: “We will not tolerate violence of any kind on the streets of Blackburn. I hope these arrests send out a clear message that anybody contemplating engaging in such lawless behaviour should expect a knock at the door.”
