SIX people have been arrested following an anti-drugs operation in Keighley.

Keighley Neighbourhood Policing officers and members of the Bradford Precision team swooped on five addresses in the town.

Police say a "substantial" amount of drugs and cash was seized.

Four men and two women were arrested on suspicion of drugs offences and subsequently released pending further investigation.

Inspector John Barker, of the Keighley Neighbourhood Policing team, said: "This operation was part of ongoing work to tackle serious and organised crime in the town, and the results show our continued commitment to getting drugs off the streets of Keighley.

"We work in partnership with Keighley Together in our response to drugs and organised crime in the town.

"Drugs cause long-term misery to people and their families, and fuel crime and anti-social behaviour in the area.

"Information from the community plays a vital role in tackling drugs crime, and I would continue to encourage anyone who has suspicions to report them."

Information can be given by calling West Yorkshire Police on 101 or by using the 'report it' options at westyorkshire.police.uk/contactus.

Alternatively, information can be provided anonymously via the independent charity, Crimestoppers, on 0800 555 111 or by going to crimestoppers-uk.org.
