Police have arrested eight people following a large fire in Bramley.
The fire broke out in a derelict building in Waterloo Way at around 8.45pm yesterday (30 May).
Eight youths from the Armley and Bramley areas have been arrested overnight and this morning on suspicion of arson, including:
Two boys aged 14, three boys aged 15, one boy aged 16 and two girls aged 14 and 13.
Detective Inspector James Entwistle, of Leeds CID, said: "The building is very frail and we expect within the next seven days it will be taken down to protect the safety of the surroundings.
"We expect this may cause some disruption for the next several days and while this disruption is regrettable it is absolutely necessary to ensure public safety.
"We are working hard with partners to minimise the impact of this work and again, I want to thank residents for their co-operation during this time."
