Cannabis seized in Lancaster searches

Cannabis with an estimated street value of £500 and hundreds of pounds in cash was seized by police in Lancaster yesterday (7th September).

A man was searched on Westbourne Road and cannabis – some of which police suspect had been prepared ready for dealing – and cash were seized. A subsequent search of a flat on the same street led to the seizure of more cannabis.
