A 60-year-old Bury woman has been arrested after drugs and cash were found in a car in Blackpool.

Lancashire Police ordered the vehicle to stop on Yeadon Way at around 12.30pm on Tuesday.

Officers said they then found cocaine, a shoebox full of cannabis and a large amount of money inside the car.

The woman was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A and B drugs and money laundering.

She was arrested as part of Operation Vanquish – a fortnight of police work to clamp down on those driving illegally or using the roads for criminality.

The woman remains in police custody.

Sgt Dave Benson, of the Lancashire Police TacOps team, said: “We are just over halfway through another fortnight of Operation Vanquish action, and are continuing to target those who think they don’t need to follow the law, or think it’s acceptable to use the road network for criminality.

“Our message is simple, if this is you, we will catch up with you.”
