A 22-year-old man has been charged with drug supply offences following a Misuse of Drugs Act warrant executed by Blackpool Neighbourhood Police Team, Project Adder, and Blackpool Task Force on Friday, April 11th.
Acting on information and concerns raised by the local community, officers targeted an address on Kingsland Grove in Blackpool.
During the search of the property, a handgun was discovered and subsequently assessed to be an imitation firearm.
Following further enquiries conducted at the address, the occupants were arrested and interviewed in connection with the supply of drugs.
Amer Hamid-Taha, aged 22, has since been charged with being concerned in the supply of Class A and Class B drugs and was remanded to appear in court.
This operation highlights the ongoing commitment of Blackpool Police to act on community intelligence and tackle drug-related crime in the area.
The successful execution of the warrant and the subsequent arrest demonstrate the effectiveness of collaborative efforts between different police teams.
