Ten people have been arrested by police in Lancashire on a second day of raids targeting suspected drug dealers.

About 50 officers took part in the operation at six addresses in the Blackpool area.

Seven men, aged between 24 and 41, and three women aged 18, 35 and 37 are being held and are due to be questioned by police.

Nine people have already been charged with drug offences after raids in Blackpool on Tuesday.

The raids are part of Operation Nimrod - a long-term anti-drug initiative.
