A teenager was arrested on suspicion of carrying an air rifle on a bus in east Leeds.
The arrest came as part of West Yorkshire Police officer's crackdown on antisocial behaviour involving youths.
They have been travelling to 'hot spots' to talk to dozens of kids who have been seen throwing stones at buses and other vehicles in the likes of Crossgates, Seacroft, Killingbeck and Whinmoor.
They have been travelling around on a double decker bus, as part of a 'Trojan Bus operation', so they can spot antisocial teenagers and catch out unruly drivers.
In the past week, the police have taken the details of 18 young suspects and say "further action is due to be taken" by Leeds Antisocial Behaviour Team.
On Monday, February 24, they arrested a teenager on suspicion of possessing an air weapon on a bus in South Parkway and for a separate incident involving a BB gun on Friday, February 21 at Seacroft Shopping Centre.
He has been released under investigation.
Inspector Mick Preston said: "We have been doing a great deal of work alongside our partner agencies to tackle antisocial behaviour involving groups of youths in these areas and this week’s operation has been the latest instalment of that.
“It saw a significant number of youths stopped and spoken to by officers and partner services who were deployed into these areas aboard the ‘Trojan bus’ provided by First Bus.
“We will be taking appropriate action against those directly linked to incidents and working with youth services to divert others into positive activities away from the streets.
“We hope this latest operation will help to reassure residents that we are taking the issues seriously and also send a suitable deterrent message to those youths who involve themselves in anti-social behaviour in the area.”
