Police seized thousands of pounds worth of cannabis following a stop check on a car in Blackpool.
An officer stopped a vehicle on Rigby Road, Blackpool, on Thursday September 20 and one of the passengers then tried to run away with a large plastic bag. He was detained by the officer and a large quantity of cannabis, over half a kilogram in weight, was found inside the bag.
A subsequent search of an address in Alexandra Road revealed a large sum of money, drugs paraphernalia and a large number of valium tablets.
A 19-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possessing cannabis with intent to supply; a 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession of cannabis and a 21-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of cannabis. All have been released on bail pending further inquiries.
