Three arrested and 27 vehicles seized in crackdown

The arrests were made as part of an investigation into organised criminal activity

Three people were arrested and 27 vehicles were seized after police officers searched two homes for suspected gang activity.

South Yorkshire Police said it seized 18 off-road vehicles and quad bikes in Manor, Sheffield, during the operation on Wednesday.

A 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of robbery and possessing drugs and a 26-year-old man was arrested for breaching court bail while a third person was held for obstructing a police constable.

South Yorkshire Police said the area was a centre for organised criminal activity.

'Won't stand for it'

Acting Police Sergeant Danielle Kinsella said: "Organised crime gangs cause misery to our communities and target the most vulnerable in society.

"We won't stand for it in Sheffield and our activity on Wednesday was a show of strength which I hope gave members of the public a glimpse of the work we do on a daily basis."

The 22-year-old man was bailed pending further inquiries but has since been recalled to prison for breaching his licence.

Quantities of crack cocaine and cannabis were also recovered by officers following seven stop and searches in the area.
