Woman robbed of her jewellery outside school
Police said the 43-year-old woman, who suffered minor injuries, was robbed by two men in balaclavas outside Moorlands School, in Foxhill Drive, Weetwood, at 3.50pm on Friday. One of the men was armed with a hammer.
Police said the men made off in a blue Volvo, reg HD51 CZJ, which was driven by a third masked man. The vehicle crashed into another car on Foxhill Drive, however, and the men abandoned it and stole a red Seat Ibiza from a passing motorist. That vehicle was later found abandoned in Coniston Avenue, Headingley.
