A POLICE helicopter and plane have been spotted circling Leeds-Bradford Airport this evening.
Residents posted on social media to say they had seen a force helicopter hovering above the Horsforth area and near Leeds-Bradford airport.
It is believed the aircrafts were out to supporting police with an incident at a caravan park in the Horsforth area, near the airport.
One person said at 6.14pm: "Police helicopter is high above Horsforth and has been for ages."
Another onlooker saw one helicopter in the sky at 6.50pm, which was then joined by another force aircraft.
That was the National Police Air Service (NPAS) North-East Region's plane.
It set off from Doncaster - where it is based - at 5.53pm yesterday and arrived in the area at around 6.15pm.
The plane then spent the next five hours circling the area, before heading back to base at 11.25pm.

This statement is still yet to be released.
