Officers seized the heroine and crack cocaine as well as more drugs, drug paraphernalia and around £2,000 in cash found inside the property.

A spokesman for Lancashire Police said: “We’d now very much like a catch-up with the man who fled the address without so much as a hello or an offer of a brew.

“Our enquiries are ongoing to locate him.

“Drugs are a blight on our communities but we hope these seizures send a message we will not stand for this type of criminality in Lancashire.”

The raid was part of Operation Warrior which aims to disrupt organised crime in the county.
