Operation Impact is being run by police in Yorkshire to boost public confidence.

In Calderdale the focus is on the upper Calder Valley.

Officers used an automatic number plate recognition system and local intelligence to tackle travelling criminals. They seized three vehicles worth about £50,000 from criminals and arrested a Todmorden man on suspicion of possessing class A drugs with intent to supply. Mounted police have also been on patrol in Todmorden and Hebden Bridge.

Sergeant Chris Nor-bury, of the upper valley neighbourhood policing team, said: "We are targeting anti-social behaviour including street drinking by youths and adults in Bramsche Square and Calder Holmes Park and the problems that brings later on in the evening."

Police also joined Pennine Housing officials to speak to people on the Ashenhurst estate about housing problems and anti-social behaviour.

Officers at a crime prevention stall at Morr-isons supermarket gave out 1,000 crime prevention packs to shoppers.

Chief inspector Mark McManus said: "This is part of a regional campaign looking at local policing, the police pledge, drugs, road safety, travelling criminals and burglary.

"The aim is to promote what we do on a daily basis and tackle community issues, using regional and force-wide assets. This is not just a one-off."

The operation will continue for the next two months.

"This is a fantastic opportunity to share good practice, work closely with colleagues and partners across the region in tackling local issues that are affecting people in difficult times," said Chief Supt Barry South.

"Most importantly we will be working with our communities."
