Police investigating violent robberies across Bradford and North Kirklees have today arrested two more people.

Two men, aged 18 and 25, from Bradford, were arrested earlier today on suspicion of burglary, assault and robbery.

A 46-year-old man, who was arrested in Bradford yesterday on suspicion of burglary, robbery, assault and vehicle crime remains in custody.

A 46-year-old woman, who was also arrested yesterday on suspicion of assisting an offender, has been released on bail pending further enquiries, as has a 26-year-old man who was arrested on Monday on suspicion of handling stolen goods.

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

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

A man, 26, arrested last Thursday 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 the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555111, where reports can be made anonymously.
