Officers visited a number of establishments in the area during the operation on December 7.

A 32-year-old man from Morecambe was arrested on suspicion of drink driving.

“Operations such as these will continue in order to prevent drug-related crime.

“I’d like to thank the public and the licenced establishments for their continued support in such operations.”
