Fairfield, Summerfield and Britannia were targeted by a range of different services and organisations under the banner of crime reduction partnership Safer Leeds; including Leeds City Council, the police, the fire service, the DVLA and West North West Leeds Homes.

The four-day operation began and finished with a community coffee morning at Fairfield Community Centre.

Rubbish and graffiti, untidy gardens and overgrown public spaces were cleaned up and tidied while untaxed vehicles were removed by the DVLA as part of the latest phase of Operation Champion.

Warrant officers executed warrants with the police and the fire service carried out home safety checks. Police and PCSOs also carried out patrols.

Councillor Les Carter, executive board member responsible for neighbourhoods and chair of the Safer Leeds partnership, said: "Operation Champion has made a real impact in cutting crime across the city. Safer Leeds is fully committed to further reducing crime and this latest initiative in Bramley will continue the valuable work in this area.

"This latest initiative will also focus on delivering crime prevention awareness events, through this we will able to clearly show how communities can help us in the fight against crime."

Residents could find advice from all the agencies involved in the campaign at the coffee morning.

They could also take away free low energy light bulbs as part of a Safer Leeds Campaign to reduce burglary by leaving lights on in the house.
