POLICE have warned that there's no hiding place for fugitives from justice after a day of busts across Somerset.

Officers swooped on homes in and around Taunton in a bid to round up criminals and suspects cocking a snook at the justice system.

A total of 19 people were arrested on the Somerset West patch, which covers Taunton Deane, West Somerset and the Bridgwater area, during raids throughout Tuesday.

Around 300 were nicked across the whole of the Avon and Somerset force area as part of Operation Relentless.
