Six charged following 20 arrests in Harrogate during police operation

Six people were charged following 20 arrests in Harrogate during North Yorkshire Police’s Operation Super Tornado Two, according to figures supplied by the force.

The county-wide policing operation took place on Wednesday 23 September 2026, with police providing a breakdown of the outcomes for those arrested in Harrogate.

Of the 20 arrests, four resulted in a charge and remand in custody, while two people were charged and bailed to court.

The remaining outcomes recorded by North Yorkshire Police were:

  • Four people released on police bail
  • One Community Resolution Disposal
  • Six people released under investigation
  • One case in which detention was not authorised
  • Two immigration detentions

64 arrests across North Yorkshire

A separate Freedom of Information response from North Yorkshire Police confirmed that 64 arrests were made across the force area during Operation Super Tornado Two.

The force reported that 20 people had been charged, 11 remanded in custody, 23 released on police bail and 16 either released under investigation or subject to no further action.

The response did not explain how the four force-wide outcome categories relate to one another, as their combined total exceeds the 64 arrests reported.

Weapons seized and cash recovered

North Yorkshire Police also disclosed that 14 search warrants were executed, six weapons were seized and £3,750 was recovered under the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA).

The force provided no further breakdown of the weapons seized or the cash recovered by individual area.

The operation was part of a county-wide policing effort conducted on 23 September 2026.
