An axe, a machete, cash and heroin are amongst items seized by police following raids in Lancashire.

The haul was part of a week-long operation to tackle Class A drug dealing in Blackpool and the Fylde.

Twenty people have been charged with conspiracy to supply crack cocaine and heroin, the youngest being a 15-year-old boy from Leyland and the oldest being a 73-year-old man from Blackpool.

They have either already appeared at Lancaster Magistrates Court or have been issued summons to appear there on Friday.
