The blue plaque unveiled yesterday in Leeds to commemorate David Oluwale has been stolen just hours after it was unveiled.
Leeds Civic Trust has condemned the thieves as "abhorrent and cowardly". The plaque was unveiled yesterday, April 25, at 5pm.
It honoured David Oluwale, who died in Leeds in 1969 after being racially harassed. He was 'hounded to death' by the police, and tragically drowned in the River Aire.
