A group of volunteers at a Leeds bowling club who set up a sting to catch young vandals in action on CCTV have been told off by police for filming children without permission.
Harehills Park Bowling Club in Leeds has been experiencing an "unprecedented amount" of vandalism over the last eight months. In the last couple of weeks, shelters have been destroyed and someone tried to break into a shed during broad daylight, causing £3,000 of damage.
The club decided to get CCTV to catch the vandals and just hours later members discovered a memorial bench had been destroyed. Unfortunately the CCTV had finished recording but it did capture images showing the vandals before they put balaclavas on to mess with the CCTV.
