TEN suspected criminals who were arrested in dawn raids on ten York properties have been bailed pending further inquiries.

The arrests were made during Friday’s crackdown, which was one of the largest and most concerted drug-busting operations in York.

More than 100 officers were involved in Operation Gatecrasher, seizing 76 cannabis plants, £5,000 cash, heroin, amphetamines and stolen property.

Police said the raids in the Heworth and Huntington Road areas of York were carried out following tip-offs from members of the public.
