As well as targeted enforcement operations, extra police have been drafted on the streets of Craven and Harrogate districts, with patrols in town centres, residential and rural areas.
There has also been an intensified road policing presence targeting key routes to stop criminals travelling into and around the county.
Operation Tornado moves around different areas of the county.
Operation Tornado
Following today’s warrant in Knaresborough, a man in his 30s has been arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply drugs, money laundering and possession of criminal property.
He has been taken into custody where he remains while enquiries are carried out.
Attending the warrant operation today, chief constable Tim Forber said:
Operation Tornado is about using the full force of North Yorkshire Police to deal with the issues that matter most to communities.
It’s really important that the public know that North Yorkshire Police is on their side.
And if you’re a criminal in North Yorkshire, you need to know that we’re out and about undertaking activities that will make it as difficult as possible for you to operate.
