    The county's force led an operation alongside Lancashire Police, Nottinghamshire Police and the East Midlands Special Operations Unit.

    County lines is a term used for the transportation network of illegal drugs across areas, usually by children or vulnerable people who are coerced into it by gangs.

    In a month, 38 properties were searched with more than 40 people charged in connection with the raids.

    Lincolnshire Police said more than £300,000 in assets were seized, including designer watches, clothing, electrical goods and cars.

    This was alongside more than £55,000 in cash, an estimated £53,000 of crack and heroin, about £12,000 of cannabis, and a variety or weapons including knives, a shotgun and two handguns.

    Ch Insp Phil Baker said: "The leaders of organised crime gangs live lavish lifestyles, spending thousands on designer clothes, watches or gadgets, while the people they exploit to traffic drugs, or those using them, are often living lives so far removed from luxury."

    A leading international designer who created the cauldron for the 2012 Olympics will join the team redeveloping Nottingham's Broadmarsh district.

    Thomas Heatherwick will help create a "new vision" for the former shopping district, which has been left derelict since shopping centre owner Intu went into administration.

    The 20-acre site is now being developed by an advisory group, which includes Nottingham City Council.

    Mr Heatherwick, who also helped redesign the new Routemaster bus, said: "Urban centres in this country have been failing fast through a combination of conventional high street shopping that’s been swallowed up by the online world and bland gentrification, which has eliminated local character.

    “Nottingham has the chance to lead the way, like it has done many times in its rich creative history.

    Nottingham City Council leader David Mellen said: "Heatherwick’s approach to urban design, focussing on positive social impact and creating places led by the needs of people, reflects our ambitions for the area."
