Police have seized thousands of pounds in cash from an address in Todmorden after two brothel raids.

Officers raided two addresses they said were being used as massage parlours in Leeds and Wakefield yesterday afternoon.

The £16,000 cash was confiscated from Lewer Place following the intelligence lead raids involving West Yorkshire Police's Proceeds of Crime Team and the Belle Vue Neighbourhood Team.

The premises were closed down and three women, a 57-year-old and two 32-year-olds were arrested for being concerned in the management of a brothel and conversion of criminal property under the Proceeds of Crime Act.

All the women were bailed pending further enquiries.
