Mill View House - Criminal Activity Linked to Sexual Exploitation

Further to my earlier message regarding concerns raised about criminal activity linked to sexual exploitation at an address within Mill View House, I am writing to provide reassurance and an update following police activity carried out this evening.

Lancashire Police, working in partnership with Immigration Enforcement, executed a warrant at the address. As a result of this activity, one individual was arrested for immigration-related offences. Enquiries remain ongoing, and officers continue to work closely with partner agencies to safeguard vulnerable individuals and prevent further offending linked to the property.

We recognise that an increased police presence and activity of this nature may be concerning for local residents. Please be assured that this action was intelligence-led, proportionate, and undertaken to reduce harm, protect vulnerable people, and improve safety within the community. The address will continue to be monitored as part of our ongoing neighbourhood policing activity, with further attendance and disruption where necessary to bring the identified activity to an end.

If you have any further concerns or information that may assist police, please contact me directly using the details provided in this message.
