Police investigating a series of violent robberies across Bradford and North Kirklees, in which high performance cars were stolen, have made two further arrests. 

Earlier this afternoon, officers attended an address in Bradford and arrested a 46-year-old man and a 46-year-old woman.

The man was arrested on suspicion of burglary, robbery, assault, and vehicle crime.

The woman was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

Both remain in custody at this time along with a 26-year-old man from Bradford, who was arrested yesterday on suspicion of handling stolen goods.

Detectives believe the six robberies, which took place last Monday and Tuesday in Baildon, Eccleshill, Gomersal, Tyersal, Wyke and Drighlington, are linked.

On Saturday, Zafar Iqbal, 39, of Clipstone Street, West Bowling, appeared in court charged with handling stolen goods in relation to a robbery in Wyke.

He is due to appear back in court on February 8.

A 26-year-old man was also arrested last Thursday and has since been released on bail.

Police are continuing to appeal for information, and would ask anyone who may be able to assist the investigation to contact Bradford District CID on 101, or to call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.
