North Yorkshire Police carried out what officers described as its ‘biggest ever operation’ on September 23.

The force was quick to highlight that Operation Super Tornado Two, which targeted serious and organised crime across the county, led to 64 arrests in 24 hours.

But how many of those arrests led to charges? The Stray Ferret has been investigating.

Police said they seized "significant quantities of drug", visited 12 high street premises and deployed live facial recognition for the first time as part of the day of action.

On September 30, officers told the Stray Ferret that 20 of the arrests were made in the Harrogate district, with six people charged.

Police today (October 22) told us that the 64 countywide arrests have so far led to 18 charges, meaning the six in the Harrogate district account for a third.

There is an important distinction between those arrested and those charged, as people arrested can be released with no further investigation.

The 18 people charged in North Yorkshire face allegations of 36 offences, which are listed below:

Besides the 64 arrests, 14 warrants were executed, four wanted people were located, six weapons were seized and 14 vehicles and £3,750 in cash recovered.

The drugs haul included cannabis in Northallerton with an estimated street value of around £1 million.

Live facial recognition generated 12 positive matches to individuals on a police watchlist.

As a result, officers made one arrest, stopped and checked eight individuals subject to Sexual Harm Prevention Orders, and engaged with two people linked to intelligence-related alerts.

One month on, the latest figures we have pursued give a more detailed breakdown of the operation beyond the initial headline findings.
