Leeds: police probe as yobs desecrate Muslim graves

Police are investigating claims that a Leeds graveyard wrecking spree which damaged 15 graves could have been racially motivated.

The plots in Harehills cemetery in Leeds were targeted by vandals, who smashed one headstone and damaged many more.

Police are looking into whether the vandalism was the work of racists as all the affected plots are in the Muslim section of the graveyard.
