Police hunt heartless thieves after woman attacked in Leeds city centre

Police are trying to trace four men in connection with a robbery and theft in Leeds city centre.

A 22-year-old woman was pushed to the ground and robbed of her phone by two of the men, and a 20-year-old man had his phone grabbed from his hand by the other two men in a separate incident nearby.

Both offences occurred in the vicinity of Merrion Street between 4am and 5am on Thursday, October 17, and it is believed the four men were operating together in the area.

Anyone who recognises any of the men or who has any information that could assist the investigation is asked to contact PC6420 Daniel via 101 quoting crime reference 13190532957 or email ad1@westyorkshire.pnn.police.uk or call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
