South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue and Barnsley Council are among the organisations involved in the operation.

Chief Superintendent Scott Green said: “Today is about taking action following feedback from our communities, and tackling the issues that matter to you the most.

“This early in the operation we cannot give too much detail but I am hoping that later today we can share positive results with you of those arrested, items recovered and action taken.

“If you see our officers while you are out and about, stop and say hello.”
