Chuanhua Lin was spotted 'acting suspiciously' by the British Transport Police's County Lines Taskforce on September 12, 2024, while waiting for a train service to Glasgow at Preston Railway Station.

Cops then approached the 40-year-old, whose behaviour 'continued to raise suspicions' - especially as he 'attempted to keep the officers away from his large suitcase'.

"Our teams deploy across the UK to detect and disrupt County Lines activity.

"Officers are skilled at noticing behaviours that will make criminals stand out from everyday passengers and we will ensure they are brought to justice.

"If you are using the rail network to transport drugs, we will find you.”
