A man has been charged after officers from Lancashire Police’s Specialist Ops stopped a car at Forton Services and discovered bags of cannabis within.
In a statement released today, Lancashire Police said:
“When you stop at the service station, you’d expect to pick up a sandwich, perhaps a cup of coffee, or some snacks for your journey…
What you wouldn’t expect to find is 10kg of Cannabis estimated to be worth around £100,000.
Well, that’s what our SpecOps team found when they stopped a silver Ford C-MAX at Forton Services, at around 12:55pm yesterday (30th October).
A 30-year-old man from Lanarkshire, Scotland, was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply and driving whilst disqualified.
James Brannan, 30, of Broughton Place, Coatbridge, Lanarkshire, Scotland was later charged with possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of class B – Cannabis and driving whilst disqualified.
He was remanded to appear before Lancaster Magistrates Court today.”
