Officers said there will be more action in the ongoing operation.

Detective Inspector Dan Tillett of Wakefield District CID, said: “This week’s operation is the latest as part of our ongoing work in Wakefield District to investigate those who make profit and live a lavish lifestyle from drugs and the proceeds of crime.

“Officers have made several arrests and confiscated significant amounts of cash and I can promise residents that further action will follow.

“These investigations are complex and lengthy but police have a great deal of experience and skill in conducting such enquiries.”
