A ‘large quantity of clothing’ was stolen in a Leeds city centre raid when thieves rammed a car into a shop front.

Police said a Kia Ceed deliberately drove into the Belstaff clothing shop on Vicar Lane in Leeds on Monday night, before ‘a number of people’ entered the store and stole goods.

West Yorkshire Police appealed for witnesses as they continued to investigate the ram raid.
