00:00More than 50 offenders have been locked up in just over two weeks in a September surge to reduce crime in Huddersfield Town Centre.
00:08A total of 53 arrests were made by officers up to the 17th of September, averaging three arrests in the town centre every day for offences including possession of offensive weapons, shop theft, public order offences and breach of criminal behaviour orders.
