The motorist was driving towards Huddersfield town centre shortly before 9pm when three unmarked police vehicles pulled up to the traffic lights by Aden Court Care Home in front of her, before blocking a car as armed officers got out and surrounded it.

The officers open the doors of the black Jaguar pointing their weapons inside.

Dozens of officers swarm around the car with it blocked in by the vehicles.

Traffic was temporarily halted on the road as the operation occurred, with many eyewitnesses saying they saw multiple police vehicles.
