Police targeted scrap metal thieves in a major cross-boundary crackdown between Bradford and Calderdale.
Officers from Bradford South Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) joined their colleagues in Calderdale division in searching vehicles for stolen metal.
The officers, with Customs and Excise, mounted checkpoints on major roads on the Calderdale and Bradford borders.
They stopped and checked 62 vehicles, including one which had been stolen from Milton Keynes.
Two were seized for no insurance, and three people were reported for not having an MOT.
Officers carried out stop and searches and handed out two warnings for possession of cannabis.
Sergeant Warren Pitman, of Calderdale’s Lower Valley NPT, said: “We are doing all we can to make it difficult for those trying to sell stolen scrap metal and similar operations will continue in the near future.”
