A VAN reportedly used for persistent fly-tipping around Bradford has been seized.

Operation Steerside tweeted about the seizure earlier today.

With help from Bradford Council, they captured the white Iveco van in the Woodside area of the city.

The police account tweeted: "Working with our partners from Bradford Council's Environmental Enforcement, we have today assisted in seizing this van from Woodside in Bradford South.

"There have been persistent reports the van has been used in fly-tipping recently and the Council are investigating."

West Yorkshire Police's Operation Steerside Team has been dedicated to tackling dangerous and anti-social driving in Bradford since launching in 2016.

It evolved in 2018 into a multi-agency partnership (consisting of representatives from Bradford Council, police, education and the fire service).
