Officers have seized over £2m of illegal drugs and a variety of weapons including guns, machetes, and medieval flails after busting more than 50 cannabis farms.

Drugs that would have sold for between £2m-3m were found in properties across East Lancashire after a month-long operation against organised crime groups.

Criminals targeted included those who used violence and weapons to "tax" rival gangs, stealing their cannabis plants for themselves.

As Lancs Live reported, raids took place across Blackburn, Darwen, Burnley, Accrington, and Haslingden, with officers also raiding properties in Clayton-le-Moors, Church, Clitheroe, Brierfield, Nelson, and Colne.
