A Bradford shop has been forced to close for three months after a raid found large amounts of illegal products on sale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Allerton Mini Market, located at 103 Saffron Drive, Allerton, was raided in a joint operation between West Yorkshire Trading Standards, West Yorkshire Police, Bradford Council and West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service on October 30 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the operation, cigarettes, tobacco, illegal vapes and a quantity of cannabis were seized from the premises. One male was arrested and remains on police bail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sergeant Ceri Lloyd of the Neighbourhood Support Team at Bradford District Police said: \u201cWe welcome the closure order of this shop we have worked closely with council and partners to tackle the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAn active police investigation remains ongoing in relation to the cannabis that was found at the location. Anti-social behaviour and criminal activity will not be tolerated, and we will take action to make Bradford safer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Huddersfield Magistrates Court granted an urgent three month closure order sought by Bradford Council on\u00a031 October, after deeming that the shop was being used as a centre for illegal activity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cllr Kamran Hussain, Portfolio Holder for Neighbourhoods and Community Safety, added: \u201cThis operation shows how partnership working can achieve results. We hope this sends out a clear message that this kind of activity will not be tolerated and anyone involved will be dealt with by the appropriate organisation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
