A man has admitted destroying a replica plaque commemorating the life and legacy of David Oluwale.
Gregory Michael Palmer, 60, from Leeds appeared at the city's magistrates' court on Wednesday, having been charged with criminal damage by postal requisition. He pleaded guilty to two counts of criminal damage - one of which relates to the damage of the replica plaque on July 7 last year.
The replica was the second replacement to have been put in place at the site of the original metal plaque, which was stolen from Leeds Bridge on April 25 last year. A man, aged in his 30s, was arrested on May 9 in relation to the theft of the original plaque and remains under investigation while enquiries continue.
