Twelve people have been arrested in a series of police raids across Hull as part of a crackdown on organised drugs crime.

Searches took place at Wenlock Street, Bentley Street, Constable Street and a boat docked at the city's marina, Humberside Police said.

Three men, aged 50, 45 and 31, two 38-year-old men, two 22-year-old men and a 44-year-old woman were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs and remain in police custody. The four other suspects were released on conditional bail.

Mobile phones and cash "believed to be associated with criminality" were also seized in the operation, the force added.
