Woman out shopping for vulnerable friend finds nasty coronavirus note on her car telling her she 'has no business being on this street'

A woman shopping for her vulnerable friend woman who was accused of breaking lockdown rule has shared her thoughts on 'how not to be too judgemental'.

Sarah Crosland was dropping shopping off for a vulnerable person in Leeds who is unable to leave the house as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

She said she picked up her friend’s shopping while she was doing her own and then drove to where her friend lives to drop it off.

She parked her car up on the road in Morley and delivered the shopping to her friend’s house.

When she returned to her car she found an angry note had been posted through her window, reports Leeds Live.

The note read: "I have recorded your registration number. You have no business being in this street. You have broken the regulation lockdown."

Shocked by what she was reading, Sarah took to social media to share her thoughts on people who are too quick to judge.

"Hi, Leeds folk,” she posted.

“This is a public service announcement on quarantine rules and how not to be judgemental.

"I dropped some shopping off for someone vulnerable. I did their shopping alongside my own weekly shop. I parked my car near their house. My window was slightly open due to it being warm.

"When I got back in my car, I found this passive-aggressive note on my seat."

Lockdown rules allow people to leave their homes to buy or collect essentials, in medical emergencies, to go to work if they cannot work from home and for exercise once a day.

People are allowed to pick up essentials for themselves or others as there are many elderly and vulnerable people who have been contacted to say they shouldn’t be leaving the house at all.
