All the big crimes in Bradford over the past week THESE are the major crime incidents that have hit Bradford over the past week. From a cannabis farm to arson and Covid breaches, there has been a variety of offences committed by Bradford s criminal underclass in the last seven days. Here is a round up of some of the biggest incidents police have dealt with.

The Madrassa tul Madina mosque in Beacon Road, which has been approved for use three years after it opened. Photo: Google Maps THE decision to approve retrospective plans for a mosque in a former doctor’s surgery is an “embarrassment” for Bradford Council, a councillor and objectors have said. Plans for the mosque in Beacon Road, Wibsey, went before Councillors yesterday, three years after Bradford Council wrongly told the mosque owners they didn’t need planning permission to open the place of worship. The operation of the mosque has caused deep concern for many local residents, particularly with parking, irregular opening houses and noise with dozens of complaints submitted.
