Almost £15,000 in cash recovered during fraud and firearms investigations in Bradford has been forfeited to the courts.
Almost £10,000 was seized by police during an investigation into violent disorder in Great Horton in October last year, for which five men were jailed for a total of 57 years in June. The cash was thought to be linked to the supply of drugs.
The remainder of the cash was recovered by officers investigating a fraud in Shipley in November 2015, for which three people were arrested and later released without charge.
When assets are confiscated the money is split between the government, the police, the Crown Prosecution Service and the courts.
The money returning to West Yorkshire Police is split evenly between the Police and Crime Commissioner for the Safer Communities Fund, and the Chief Constable for operational policing.
