Top 10 areas for arson and deliberate fires in Leeds revealed - how does your area compare?

A Freedom of Information Act request submitted to West Yorkshire Police by the Yorkshire Evening Post has revealed the 10 policing wards with the most reports of arson between April 1 2016 and March 31 2017, the most recent full year of figures available.

'Policing wards' refer to the way the force manages each area, dividing Leeds up into zones for overseeing.

The top ward for arson was Armley, with 58, followed by Wetherby Road with 55 and Gipton and Harehills with 52.

Of course, many wards are not completely equal in geographic or population size, but this is how the police record crime figures by area on their official systems.

The top 10 areas for reports of arson (in descending order)

1. Armley - 58

2. Wetherby Road - 55

3. Gipton and Harehills - 52
