People are being asked to turn detective to help catch vandals who are damaging a cricket field.

Police, Leeds City Council and club officials are joining forces in a bid to stop the hooligans who have been driving over the cricket field in Yeadon and over adjacent parkland.

Tommy Powell, one of the officials at Green Lane Cricket Club, is appealing to anyone who sees the vandals to tell police.

He said: “We are asking people who are around and about to help us.

“If any of them spot any car doing any damage we are asking them to take a note of the registration number.”

Vandals have driven over ground at the cricket club twice within the space of a few weeks, and Mr Powell said Rawdon Cricket Club had also been a target.
