Police issue Elland Road warning to Leeds United fans on matchdays

Leeds United fans came away with big smiles on their faces following yesterday's comfortable 2-0 victory at home to QPR following goals in either half from Tyler Roberts and Jack Harrison.

But as more than 30,000 fans piled into Elland Road for the 3pm kickoff, police issued a stark warning to those who park up on the roads around the stadium.

Officers from West Yorkshire Police have reminded fans to keep their valuables hidden and out of sight in their cars.

It's after a rise in the number of thefts from vehicles - with some cars actually being stolen whilst the Whites are in action.

In the build-up to the QPR match, a message on the dedicated Twitter account for the Leeds United policing team said: "If you are travelling to today's game by car please remove valuables and don't leave anything on display that somebody might want to take!

"We have had reports of cars being broken into during home games around the stadium as well as cars being stolen!"
