Good morning,

Yesterday afternoon, Pendle Task Force, with the Operation Prosper Team, have arrested a male, who was hiding in a loft at a cannabis farm, on Chatham Street, Nelson. He is currently in police custody.

148 cannabis plants were seized, along with a phone and laptop computer; the team destroyed the expensive setup.

This operation came as a direct result of community intelligence.

This is where you can help.

We are constantly developing our intelligence and positively acting on it. We need you to tell us where you suspect the cannabis farms to be, who the local drug dealers are, or where they are dealing.

We are also very interested in people that are driving their cars in a dangerous and anti-social manner, or without the correct licence and insurance.

Please report this information anonymously and in total confidence to Crimestoppers

By phone - 0800 555 111

They'll ask questions but won't ask about you. If you're concerned your call could be traced, dial 141 before 0800 555 111, this will block your phone number.
