It may not quite be the glittering metropolis of Manhattan or London, but it’s home.

West Yorkshire’s police helicopter crews have released this footage which shows officers’ views as they fly over the town centre at night time.

The video was tweeted by NPAS Carr Gate, the force’s Wakefield-based air division, and includes familiar Huddersfield landmarks .
