Police officers are searching for a man they think can help their investigation into a multi-milllion pound conspiracy to import drugs from Europe.
Lancashire Police are appealing for help tracing a man who might be able to help them crack open a plot to bring Class A and Class B drugs from Europe onto the streets of Darwen.
Officers shared a picture of the man, who is known to have links to both Darwen and Salford, on the Lancashire Police Twitter page.
A post alongside the images read: "Do you recognise this man, who has links to Darwen and Salford?
"We want to speak to him in connection with a conspiracy to import millions of pounds of Class A and Class B drugs from Europe into Darwen.
"So far 23 people have been charged and five others arrested as part of the East Lancashire Exploitation Team’s investigation into an Organised Criminal Gang (OCG) suspected of importing significant quantities of heroin, amphetamine, cocaine and cannabis into East Lancashire before distributing it further afield."
Anyone with information that might be able to help officers should contact police on 101, quoting log number 0557 of March 23, 2021.
Alternatively, the independent charity Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555111.
