A blue plaque commemorating the life and legacy of tragic David Oluwale in Leeds was stolen less than five hours after it was unveiled, West Yorkshire Police (WYP) have confirmed.
The force yesterday (Tues) confirmed it had launched a hate crime investigation after the plaque was removed from its spot on Leeds Bridge in the city centre on Monday. And in an update today, WYP said officers believe it was stolen between 9.30pm and 9.55pm.
WYP said CCTV footage has shown the area was busy at the time and officers are now keen to speak to anyone who took pictures of the plaque within that timeframe. Anyone who thinks they may have seen any suspicious activity between 9.30pm and 9.55pm should also contact the force.
