The police have issued an urgent warning after two men and one woman were found dead in Blackpool.

Police have launched a major investigation after finding three dead in Blackpool.

The deaths of the two men and woman are believed to be linked to drug use, as police urge local drug users to "seek immediate medical attention" if they notice any different symptoms.

Lancashire police arrested a male Blackpool resident, 31, on suspicion of supplying Class A drugs, who was bailed pending further enquiries.

"Our advice would be for users to seek immediate medical attention if they notice any different symptoms or start to feel unwell. There is no safe way of taking drugs, and no way of knowing exactly what you are putting into your body and whether it is safe," a Lancashire Police spokesperson said.
