Default Traffic Police ALL OVER YORK earlier today - what the hell was going on?

I counted a total of 14 traffic cars and 3 camera vans mainly concentrated on the a19 where it connects with the ring road (a1237), there were about 8 traffic cars spread over half a mile. Then further round just coming off the a59 onto the a1237, there was a bmw M5 and Lancer Evolution, both fully marked cars with lights and sirens blazing. Further down near the a64 there were 4 volvos parked up. They were all zipping back and forth, parked up watching traffic and generally stopping people in strange places - a transit van was pulled up on a particularly small roundabout, causing traffic to swerve quite a bit...

any ideas? Any high profile escaped convicts about? Large amounts of money on the move? Or were they just having the annual north yorkshire traffic police fun day?

Operation Orbit ( I think )
Checking vehicles for Tax, Insurance, MOT etc also dodgy plates, stolen, carrying stolen goods with a bit of alcohol & drug checking on the side.
