Summarised from LancsLive's report · Updated 19 Oct, 14:49 · Archive

A 22-year-old man from Accrington has been jailed for 38 months after pleading guilty to possessing heroin and crack cocaine with intent to supply.

Hassan Khan, 22, of Fountain Street in Accrington, has been sentenced to 38 months in prison after pleading guilty to possession of heroin and crack cocaine with intent to supply. He was first arrested in March 2025 when found with heroin and crack cocaine, and arrested again in June 2026 when police discovered him with both Class A drugs and almost £700 in cash. Khan appeared at Burnley Crown Court on 15 October.

Sergeant Jade Hutchinson from the Hyndburn Taskforce Police Team said the sentence demonstrated the force's commitment to dismantling drug supply in Accrington. She added that drugs cause harm and criminality to communities, and that information from the public was invaluable to police work. The case was pursued under Operation Warrior, Lancashire Police's response to tackling serious and organised crime in the county.
