Leeds family 'shocked to the core' after jewellery stolen from Moortown home in burglary
A family has been left “shocked to the core” following a burglary at their home in Leeds.
The property on Larkhill Road in Moortown was targeted on Saturday evening (November 30) and jewellery was stolen.
The son of the couple who live at the property posted online, saying that it was the first time his parents’ house had been targeted in nine years of living there.
He said that the thieves most likely escaped through a rear window after seeing his father pull onto the driveway at 9.30pm, adding: “We are all shocked to the core. Everyone please be vigilant.”
