Police seize DJ sets and speakers during Headingley and Woodhouse noise nuisance warrants

The Leeds anti-social behaviour team and north west Leeds policing officers conducted two noise nuisance warrants in Headingley and Woodhouse on Tuesday.

Occupants of two addresses were found to have breached their previously issued Section 80 Noise Abatement notices by continuing to generate 'excessive' noise.

This allows the Leeds anti-social behaviour team to obtain a warrant and seize any noise-emitting items from the property.

The items will be held securely for 28 days and can then be retrieved by payment of a fee.

Police pleaded with residents to be 'considerate' of neighbours and 'think of the negative effects' that noise nuisance can cause them.
