Police stopped and advised 70 people during a high-profile operation to target anti-social behaviour in the Leeds Road area of Bradford.

Officers gathered information about troublemakers during the week-long operation, which followed concerns from residents about anti-social behaviour and acts of violence by groups of youths hanging out on streets.

Inspector Tim Done, of the Bowling, Barkerend and Bradford Moor Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “We are pleased with how this operation has gone.

"We have been able to identify the troublemakers and gather information about their activities.

"We have also spoken to their parents about what their child is getting up to. This has had a positive effect on the community.”
