Police in Leeds are appealing for information following burglaries at a skate park and climbing centre in Hunslet.
Leeds District Investigation Team is investigating two commercial burglaries at LS-TEN indoor skatepark and City Bloc climbing centre on Kitson Road, Hunslet, during the early hours of Wednesday 20 August 2025.
Items stolen during these burglaries include BMX bikes, scooters, a large quantity of climbing shoes and various household appliances.
From enquiries, it is believed that three or four suspects have forced entry to the two premises and left in a van, possibly a Citroen 54 plate. The group have been wearing face coverings but there are CCTV images of one male without his face covered. Officers are keen to speak to anyone who recognises this man.
The Leeds District Investigation Team would also like to speak to anyone who has been offered BMX bikes, scooters or climbing equipment for sale in suspicious circumstances.
Anyone with any information that could assist the investigation into these burglaries is asked to contact Leeds District Investigation Team via Live Chat online or by calling 101, quoting crime reference 13250477009.

We have some really awful people in society. I hope these criminals are caught and locked up
Just terrible. To do this to organisations actually making life a lot better for people around here too. Great organisations. It’s time to purge this area of its criminals, ex-cons and addicts – no more tolerance for all these low lives who are prepared to do this in our community. Clean them all out and get rid.. It’d free up a hell of a lot of housing in LS11 at the same time. Homes for decent law-abiding people instead.
