Swoops after drug police go undercover
The operation resulted in officers gathering enough evidence to search three houses, where cannabis was found on each occasion.
Police took action as a result of complaints from neighbours in the Banstead Park area and near St Aidan’s Church on Elford Place, Harehills with officers carrying out surveillance work to gather evidence against those believed to be responsible.
