A STOLEN white van was recovered less than an hour after it had been taken today.

Officers from West Yorkshire Police's Steerside Enforcement Team spotted the vehicle in Bradford at around 11.33am this morning.

It had been reported as stolen less than an hour before it was found. 

Police recovered the van and enquiries are ongoing into the theft of the vehicle.

Operation Steerside was set up by West Yorkshire Police in 2016 in response to concerns over dangerous and anti-social driving in the District.

It was inspired by the Telegraph & Argus's "Stop The Danger Drivers" campaign.

The force has since set-up a dedicated team to focus on tackling anyone who does not drive to the required standards.
