Police in Bradford made 17 arrests, seized 24 vehicles and handed out almost 300 fixed penalty tickets during a four-month road safety campaign in the Manningham and Toller wards of Bradford.
Operation Serein ran on six days between October last year and January.
The work involved partner agencies, including Bradford Council, the Vehicle Operator Services Agency (VOSA), Hackney Carriages and HM Revenue and Customs.
Neighbourhood Policing Team Inspector Steve Dodds said the work was in response to issues identified by residents following PACT (Partners and Community Together) meetings.
Insp Dodds said: “Out of almost 300 tickets issued during the operation, 93 were endorsable fixed penalty notices, which means they come with points on the licence.
“I am extremely pleased with these results. However, they are just part of our ongoing effort to tackle road safety issues.
“Further operations, alongside our partners, will continue to take place across Bradford in the coming months.
