00:00 Hi, I'm Andrew Snowden, Lancashire's Police and Crime Commissioner and you'll know from
00:05 previous weekly update videos that I've done about Operation Warrior, the fight against
00:11 organised crime in Lancashire. It is a force-wide operation across Lancashire Constabulary to
00:17 take the fight to organised crime gangs, those people who exploit communities and vulnerable
00:23 people for profit across our county. And it is going so well with 17 organised crime gang
00:28 members arrested on average every single week and we've just seen another major OCG, County
00:35 Lines operation completely dismantled by the Constabulary with the gang sentenced in total
00:41 for 25 years in prison for drug dealing offences. They were flooding certain nightclubs and
00:48 areas with drugs and also having really aggressive turf wars with other gangs. More justice that's
00:54 been seen and done in Lancashire as Operation Warrior powers on.
