Snooker halls and gaming lounges in Bradford have been targeted in a police crackdown.
Police officers and officials visited several venues, resulting in 20 drug searches, two arrests on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class B drugs and the recovery of 10 nitrous oxide canisters.
A spokesman for the Bradford West Neighbourhood Policing Team said: "Bradford District CVET (Child Vulnerability and Exploitation Team), neighbourhood policing teams and partner agencies have continued targeted activity at premises where concerns have been raised around criminality, exploitation and safeguarding.
"These locations are used for gaming activity, snooker and social gatherings."
The spokesperson added: "Officers also gathered significant intelligence, while partner agencies identified licensing, fire, food and electrical safety concerns.
"This partnership approach will continue across Bradford, targeting locations of concern, disrupting criminality and exploitation, safeguarding vulnerable young people and providing reassurance to local communities."
