πŸš” Off-road bike seizure πŸš”

Today, officers from the Blackburn with Darwen Task Force seized the off-road bike pictured below.

The bike was being ridden in an anti-social manner on the public highway at the junction of Fairhaven Road and Lytham Road, Blackburn. Following reports from members of the public, officers located the bike and subsequently seized it.

Off-road bikes used illegally can cause significant nuisance to communities and pose a danger to other road users and pedestrians. If you're thinking of taking one onto the roads or public spaces, you could find your ride coming to an abrupt end.

πŸ—£οΈ Calling all Blackburn with Darwen primary schools!

β€œIf you don’t behave, the police will take you away!”

Is that something you’ve heard be said to a child, or something you might have even said yourself? Some children can be really scared of the police, and we want to make sure all young people know that we are not someone to be scared of, but someone who can help you if you need us.

We’re here to protect, support and listen – which is why we want to introduce you to Buddi the Dog! Buddi will be joining our police officers at primary schools across Blackburn with Darwen, to work on issues that are important in your local communities and help build positive relationships between young people and the police. Each school that gets involved will also get to keep Buddi for the month and be added to Buddi's Shield.

We already have schools signed up, but would love to get more on board. If you work at a local school and want to get involved, email [email protected]! 🐢

A man who offered to supply large quantities of Class A drugs to an East Lancashire OCG has been jailed.

Usman Mohammed told the gang he would supply them with 10kg of co***ne at a cost of Β£17k per kilo.

Mohammed’s activities were unmasked after our officers seized a mobile phone which showed him communicating with members of the OCG and sending images of the drugs he was offering for sale.

Mohammed, 36, of Sussex Drive, Blackburn, pleaded guilty last week to being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs - Co***ne. He was sentenced by HHJ Gunn at Preston Crown Court to seven years imprisonment.

Det Insp Andy Bleasdale, said: β€œDrugs bring misery to our streets and communities, and we will not rest in our commitment to tackle those who deal in illegal drugs and to put them before the courts.”

Operation Warrior is our response to tackling serious and organised crime in Lancashire and delivering on Police and Crime Commissioner Clive Grunshaw's Fighting Crime Plan priority of disrupting and dismantling organised crime.

Following concerns raised by residents in Audley and Shadsworth about e-scooters and off-road bikes being used in the area, officers have carried out targeted patrols and enforcement activity.

As a result, we have:

πŸ›΄ Seized 5 e-scooters
🏍️ Seized 1 off-road motorbike
πŸš” The motorbike was found to have no insurance, and the rider ran from officers.

⚠️ A reminder about e-scooters: Privately owned e-scooters are illegal to ride on public roads, pavements and other public places in the UK. They can only legally be ridden on private land with the landowner’s permission, or as part of an authorised rental trial.

We also want to ask parents and guardians to think carefully before buying an e-scooter for a child.

If your child cannot legally ride it on the road or pavement, why buy one in the first place? Purchasing one can put your child at risk of being stopped, having the scooter seized, and potentially facing further consequences.

We will continue to listen to residents and take action against vehicles being used illegally or causing concern in our communities.

Warrant Served. Cannabis Discovered. Address searched.

This morning, BwD Neighbourhood and Task Force teams have conducted a warrant as part of an ongoing investigation. Officers located a quantity of cannabis plants which have been seized for further investigation and enquiries are ongoing.

Another warrant, another result, and a reminder that police work isn’t always blue lights and sirens. Searching enabled officers to discover something that the occupants thought was safely out of sight!
The cannabis may have been hidden, but unfortunately for someone, β€œout of sight” and β€œout of mind” aren’t the same thing. πŸŒΏπŸ”

Warrants like this could not be done without the help of the local community. If you suspect something going on in your area, please continue to let us know!

It's Chief Inspector John Jennings-Wharton from Road Policing and I want to inform of you the good work of our Spec Ops Armed Policing colleagues who were involved in a pursuit early this morning.

At 2:30am this morning the driver of this BMW M6 failed to stop for officers on Roman Road, Blackburn, travelling way in excess of twice the speed limit, before driving the wrong way down Pritchard Street and colliding with a stationary vehicle and a wall.

The driver, a 31 year old man from Blackburn, was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and failing to provide a breath test.

He is currently in custody.

This wasn't the first time we had seen this car during the night, it failed to stop for officers earlier on in the night, so we were looking for it, and we found it.

Fail to stop for us, drive dangerously, or impaired and expect to be arrested and sent to Court - putting the people of Lancashire at risk will not be tolerated.
