Hide AdA spokespersonfor Wakefield North West and South Neighbourhood Policing Team said: “Wakefield District Police have once again teamed up with Arriva Yorkshire and Wakefield Council to deploy the Trojan Bus on June 27 to tackle reports of anti-social youths on the buses in our district.
"The use of buses, plain-clothed staff and officers made it easier to get closer to those causing issues and proactively target groups and individuals.”
The force said the aim of the project was to also tackle increased reports of damage related incidents, “revenue protection” on buses, and other police related matters on safer travel.
