The force’s Proactive Intercept Team (PIT) has made 2,971 arrests between August 2020 and August 2025 – the equivalent of 11 a week.
Officers from the team have also seized more than £3.9m in cash during that time, along with drugs worth more than £32.4m.
According to West Yorkshire Police, officers with PIT are “relentless in their pursuit of offenders who use the road network to commit crime”.
They have carried out 1,700 vehicles searches and seized more than 1,660 vehicles in the last five years.
Their stops include stolen vehicles, drivers suspected of being involved in drug-related crimes, and riders of illegal or stolen bikes.
Chief Inspector James Farrar, roads policing lead at West Yorkshire Police, said: “They have specialist driving skills and use all available intelligence and modern policing tactics to target those causing the most harm.
“These results should send a strong message to criminals that if you use our roads to commit offences, you are highly likely to be caught and brought to justice.”
