A DRUGS raid in Burnley has uncovered £6,000 of heroin.

The Class A drug was found after officers raided an address in Williams Road after a tip-off from residents.

A 20-year-old woman and 21-year-old man were arrested at the property on suspicion of drugs offences and later released on police bail until July 31 for further enquiries.

The warrant was executed last Wednesday.

Neighbourhood Sergeant Carole Langhorne welcom-ed the information from the local community and said police will continue to target drug dealers.

“The misuse of drugs is not something that local communities are prepared to tolerate,” she said.

“We welcome information from local residents and we always act on it, as this case clearly illustrates.”

Sgt Langhorne also urged more members of the public to come forward with inform-ation.

She said: “Our fight to rid local communities of drug related crime continues.

“I would urge anyone with any information that may assist us to either contact us on 0845 1253545 or Crime-stoppers on 0800 555111.”
