A Nelson man is to be sentenced over drug offences.

Rafhan Sarwar, 34, appeared at Burnley Crown Court yesterday (June 3) where he changed two of his previous not guilty pleas to guilty.

Sarwar, of Charles Street, was arrested at Manchester Airport in December after police had launched an appeal to find him in connection with class A drug offences earlier last year.

He was charged with conspiracy to supply cocaine, heroin, and crack cocaine following his arrest.

He has been remanded in custody to appear for sentencing on July 19.
