Travellers set up camp in Leeds and 'throw rocks, branches and fence posts' at passing drivers

Police have removed a 'massive' traveller camp in Leeds which was reported to have terrorised the locality by allegedly throwing "rocks, branches and fence posts" at passing traffic.

In the aftermath of the eviction, heaps of rubbish were left strewn across the field and a fence was left badly damaged. Children from the camp were throwing the items, according to a Leeds City Councillor.

There were 25 caravans by Morwick Farm on new A64 York Road roundabout between Whinmoor and Scholes in the Harewood ward, which were removed yesterday (Sunday, April 30).
