Officers said there were about 1,000 people were in the club and they also found discarded cocaine and ecstasy, Class A drugs, on the floor.
Three other clubs, Bar Fibre, Space and Mission have also been searched in recent weeks.
A spokeswoman for West Yorkshire Police said there had been 30 arrests in total since the raids began.
The four people arrested on Sunday were in custody awaiting interview, she added.
Supt Peter Nicholson said information which led to the raid came from concerned members of the public.
He said: “This has been an intense campaign which will have hit the night time economy hard.
“It does not make us popular but that is a risk we have to take in ensuring their safety.
Supt Nicholson warned drug dealers against returning to the venues.
“I would ask them to remember that this is in no way over.” he said.
“Information about suspected drug dealers was passed on without those people knowing and successfully led to the arrest of four people. We can and will do this again.”

I hope that don’t happen at any free partys!:hopeless:
its a different ballgame. club raids are fairly common because nosey nimbys or even rival venue owners grass people up which is what happened here.
if a free party gets turned over (which is rare) it is full on with riot cops and even then due to the nature of the venue there’s usually a chance to run away unless people are particularly unlucky (or are daft enough to think they can fight and win with trained riot cops). TBH I reckon it rarely gets to that stage unless crews repeatedly ignore section 63 warnings….
occasionally the Met do “raid” London warehouse parties, although TBH its mostly a number of cops descending on the warehouse and picking up anyone who is daft enough to stagger in front of bobbies with a huge polo hanging out their nose… (WTF do they expect to happen? it is illegal after all!)
