Two men, aged 67 and 48, from Chorley, Lancashire, a 39-year-old, from Bolton, Greater Manchester and a 40-year-old, from Derby, remain in police custody.The NCA said officers also conducted searches of the suspects' homes and a number of business premises in Derby, Chorley and Standish in Wigan."The NCA has been working intensely to identify and pursue those responsible.
