Police have arrested 15 people on suspicion of being involved in organised crime following searches at a Bradford business park.

Fourteen male suspects and one female are being investigated in connection with a range of offences including handling stolen goods and possession of a class A drug with intent to supply.

Officers said they seized 30 stolen vehicles, 3kg (6.6lbs) of class A drugs, stolen heavy plant machinery and £120,000 cash during a search at Holme Lane on 24 October.

Det Ch Insp Mark Atkinson said "vital" intelligence provided by the local community had led to the warrant, and appealed to anyone with further information to come forward.

All 15 arrested have been bailed pending further inquiries.
