Detective Superintendent Jaz Khan, Head of Crime for Leeds District, said: “Today’s activity is just the latest instalment of Operation Momentum which started earlier this year and which gives us a regular opportunity to proactively target those whose criminality impacts on the lives of people in our communities.

“This work directly supports the ongoing Force initiative Programme Precision to tackle serious and organised crime, such as drugs supply which causes harm both to individuals and communities and fuels acquisitive crime and anti-social behaviour.

“We will be repeating Operation Momentum over the coming months in other parts of the district and we hope it will continue to have a significant impact in tackling crime and improving people’s quality of life.

“Information from the community remains an absolutely vital part of this work and we would encourage anyone who has information on those involved in drug dealing or other crime in their area to report it to us either directly or anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers.”
