Police arrested three women after executing a warrant at a suspected brothel.

Officers from the Bradford South Vice Team swooped on a residential property in Thryberg Street, Barkerend , on Tuesday.

The women, aged 26, 44 and 46, were arrested on suspicion of managing or keeping a brothel and were given adult cautions.

Sergeant Tom Casey, of the Vice Team, said: “These types of establishments operating within a community can be particularly harmful and are actually a form of anti-social behaviour. The fact that local residents had the confidence to come forward and report this to the police underlines the positive relationship we have forged on a neighbourhood level.

People know that if they tell us when and where it is happening, we will take action and make a difference to their quality of life.”
