POLICE have issued another appeal following a series of incidents that caused concern in a Bradford area last week.

Four robberies were reported in Wibsey between Monday and Thursday.

And on Friday fears of violent disorder outside Buttershaw Business and Enterprise College led to children being collected early and a police presence being put in place.

One of the offences happened at a convenience store on Brownroyd Hill Road on Tuesday.

A group of males entered the shop and threatened staff inside. A number of items were stolen.

The other offences happened in the Wibsey Park area on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings.

In all of the offences, male victims were approached and threatened by masked suspects with weapons who then stole property. 

Nobody was injured in the offences, West Yorkshire Police said.

Police say the male they arrested has been released pending further enquiries.

Now the force is appealing once again for people with information to come forward.
