“The operation was set up to catch offenders who are using our roads and borders to commit offences and the work that has been achieved by South Yorkshire Police, has contributed to the nationwide operation to keep our roads and residents safe.
“I would like to give a special thank you to all officers that worked tirelessly on the operation as without them we would have not been able to achieve what we did.
“Although the operation was only a week long, work will still continue to catch offenders who are breaking the law and using our roads to engage in illegal activity such as modern day slavery."
