'Gutted' Leeds barber slams street drinkers 'off their faces' after 'bizarre' burglary

The co-owner of a Leeds barbers that was broken into overnight says he has been left "gutted" by the "bizarre" burglary as he slammed Kirkgate's 'street drinking problem'.

Paul Mason said the street outside his business, Blue Collar Barbering, is plagued by people "off their faces" who "just do what they hell they want." A brick was used to smash through the shop's front door on Tuesday (September 14) at 5.15am during the "bizarre" burglary which saw those responsible take nothing but three "half-empty" bottles of spirits.

West Yorkshire Police (WYP) have confirmed they are investigating the break-in and have appealed for witnesses. Paul, 35, described seeing "glass everywhere" outside the shop after he was woken by a call at 5.30am on Tuesday.
