Pit bulls and gun seized in Yorkshire dog fight raid
AN investigation into organised dog fighting has led to two arrests in West Yorkshire and the seizure of two pit bull terriers, a gun and ammunition.
West Yorkshire Police and officers from the RSPCA raided a house in Fairfax Avenue, Drighlington, on Thursday morning as part of an investigation into dangerous dogs and organised dog fighting.
Officers seized two pit bull terriers, a quantity of suspected drugs, pornography, a firearm and ammunition.
A man aged 37 and a woman aged 38 were both arrested on suspicion of possession of a dangerous dog, along with drugs and firearms offences.
The dogs are currently in kennels and both people have since been bailed.
