Detectives are appealing for information following an armed robbery at White Rose Shopping Centre on Wednesday evening.
Police received multiple calls from 8:42pm about an ongoing robbery at Beaverbrooks jewellers in the shopping centre in Leeds. It was reported that five suspects entered the shopping centre in possession of weapons including a chainsaw, baseball bats and a sledgehammer. They damaged glass cabinets within the store and made off with a number of watches. A member of staff had their hair pulled during the incident but was otherwise physically unharmed, police said.
Detective Inspector John Graham, of Leeds District CID, said: “This clearly planned and targeted robbery has taken place when the shopping centre was reasonably quiet, but I understand the huge concern that seeing these individuals armed with multiple weapons will have caused to those who were present. “Thankfully, the staff member who was confronted by these robbers did not suffer any lasting injury, but this has been an extremely traumatic experience for them.
