Children playing football have terrorised a residential Leeds street, with their balls smashing windows and destroying guttering and pipes.
One resident declared them “football crazy” with matches going on until the early hours and another said the level of football was awful and “just a nuisance”. One resident said she’s seen a boy climb through a smashed window to get his ball and then resumed playing.
They’re “dreading the holidays” when they suspect the kids will take to their street throughout all hours of the day. Residents living in fear of retribution have spoken out anonymously about the children, estimated to be between six and 15, in Broughton Terrace, Harehills.
