A massive scary-looking machete and a baseball bat were among several items seized by police on Halloween during patrols.
The patrols by West Yorkshire Police in Leeds were aimed at motorbike-related crime and anti-social behaviour but ended up reaping weapons and stolen bikes. The patrols teams consisted of officers from Leeds district, the Off-Road Bike Team, the Roads Policing Unit and the National Police Air Service.
Police say they targeted 'hotspots' around the city. And it appears to have worked, as they recovered three stolen motorcycles, including one that had been stolen barely an hour before.
