The burglars were caught in broad daylight trying to break into houses
Ash, who didn't want his last name published, lives in Birkdale Green, Alwoodley and was walking out of a work meeting when he got a notification on his phone alerting him that someone was at his front door. When he opened the notification, he watched on in horror as a group of men wearing face masks and beanie hats pulled down attempted to enter his home at 4.30pm today in broad daylight .
He says the gang then climbed over his fence and broke down his neighbour's backdoor. He's added that children were in at the time and began screaming, so the burglars fled from the scene. "You feel kind of shook up by the whole thing, that somebody would even try that. It's scary to think that gangs are operating at that time of the day when your family could be around.
