Police investigating a series of violent robberies across Bradford and North Kirklees, where high performance cars were stolen, have arrested a third man.

Detectives appealed for information following six robberies last Monday and Tuesday.

A 26-year-old man from Bradford was arrested in the city earlier today on suspicion of handling stolen goods. He remains in custody.

Detectives believe the incidents, which happened in Baildon, Eccleshill, Gomersal, Tyersal, Wyke and Drighlington, are linked.

On Saturday, Zafar Iqbal, 39, of Clipstone Street, West Bowling, was in court charged with handling stolen goods in relation to a robbery in Wyke. He will be in court again on February 8.

A 26-year-old man was also arrested on Thursday and has been released on bail.

Police are continuing to appeal for information about these incidents and would ask anyone who may be able to assist the investigation to contact Bradford District CID on 101, or to call the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555111, where reports can be made anonymously.
