Four people have been arrested in Leeds after the discovery of a drugs lab producing suspected counterfeit medication.
Officers carried out a series of raids on Tuesday (July 21) in the Adel and Wortley areas, with the suspected lab being found off Whitehall Road.
The suspects include three men aged 46, 44, and 38, along with a 36-year-old woman, arrested on suspicion of money laundering and drug supply.
All have been bailed pending further enquiries.
Nine guns were seized during a separate raid on Farrar Lane.
Detective Inspector Chris Lord of West Yorkshire Police said: “We take a proactive approach to tackling organised criminality and we know the supply of drugs fuels crime and violence in our communities."
"The substances found at the property are not for human consumption and we urge people to avoid buying illicit medication.
"It is advised that the public avoid the current sites while officers gather evidence but continue to report anything they see in their communities that could be suspicious.”
