Appeal After Business Owner Robbed Of Takings, Leeds

Police are appealing for information after a business owner was robbed of her takings in Leeds. 

At about 11.30pm last night, the victim, a 40-year-old woman, was driving along Broom Grove, Middleton, Leeds, when she was forced to stop by a small silver car which had pulled alongside her car and then boxed her in. 

Two suspects armed with baseball bats got out the vehicle, opened her doors and banged on her car demanding for money. 

They then opened a rear door and took a large amount of cash from the victim's business.

The men drove off in the silver car, possibly a 2000-plate Vauxhall Corsa, towards Broom Place. 

The driver was described as black, aged in his early twenties, slim and 5ft 9ins to 5ft 11ins tall. He was wearing a dark coloured tracksuit, a hat or hood and possibly gloves. 

Anyone with any information is asked to contact the police on 101.
