In an update today (May 23), a spokesperson said officers executed two warrants and searched a further two premises in the Harrogate area in connection with a fraud and money laundering investigation.
A man in his 20s was arrested in Harrogate.
He has since been released under investigation pending further enquiries.
Addresses in Leeds and Coventry were also searched as part of the operation, the spokesperson added.
