Officers raided a Huddersfield house and arrested three people in a pre-planned operation.

Residents on Ashenhurst Avenue, between Newsome and Lowerhouses, heard police breaking down the door at the house on Saturday night.

Neighbours described seeing armed officers turn up at around 9pm, breaking the door down and shouting before people inside were bundled into police vehicles.

Several police vans and cars remained on the street throughout the night and later the house was searched.
