District hit by spate of thefts from cars

An "unprecedented" number of vehicles in north-west Leeds were targeted by thieves.

Police warned residents to be vigilant after 21 vehicles were broken into, mainly in the Headingley, Hyde Park and Woodhouse areas.

Satellite navigation systems, MP3 players, stereos, cash and a laptop were stolen in one night.

Security in the area has been stepped up with more patrols.
