Police are re-appealing for witnesses or dashcam footage following an aggravated burglary in Pudsey where a woman was threatened at knifepoint.
The woman wasn’t injured but was left extremely shaken by the incident, which happened on Woodhall Lane in Pudsey at around 6pm on 12 December. WLD first reported on the incident two weeks ago.
Officers from Leeds District Crime Team are particularly keen to hear from the owner of a car (pictured above) which was parked on Woodhall Lane at the time as they believe it may have dashcam footage which would have captured the suspect vehicle driving away. Â
Information can be provided on 101 quoting crime reference 13240676342 or by using the livechat facility on the West Yorkshire Police website. Â Information can also be reported anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 or online. Â Â
A while ago there was a meeting between councillors and West Yorkshire Police about the unacceptable increase in burglary offences in west Leeds. Did we ever find out what happened at that meeting, what action the Police were going to take, and what the outcomes (if any).
I’m sure many West Leeds Dispatch readers would be keen to have that information researched.

We covered the meeting in early November here: https://westleedsdispatch.com/calls-made-to-tackle-sharp-rise-in-burglaries-in-calverley-farsley/
And there was a follow up here: https://westleedsdispatch.com/calverley-farsley-burglaries-councillor-calls-for-better-cross-border-policing/.
Thanks for the links, I had read those, but I was meaning more about actual positive steps that have been taken by the Police, whether there had been any prosecutions for these incidents, and if the figures are improving? I’ve found with my recent interactions with the Police that it’s difficult to get anyone interested.
