'We've seen multiple arrests, vehicles seized and we also discovered a '˜chop shop' in the Hexthorpe area where stolen vehicles were being dismantled.
'While Operation Duxford is a high-visibility policing operation, this doesn't mean that our activities to disrupt criminality will stop. We have officers working day in, day out, to tackle crime in Doncaster and to make our communities safe.'
