Leeds has seen a rapid increase in youth knife crime over the recent months, with victims suffering from both superficial and serious wounds. It is thought by police that these attacks are linked with several young groups fighting between themselves in local areas including Halton Moor, Harehills, Gipton and many more.
Unfortunately for the victims injured, this could be a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The affects of the pandemic have led to a rise in knife crime with the loss of many jobs leaving many in a vulnerable position considering options and life choices. Local forces are working hard with local communities and youth groups to divert them from criminal exploitation but understand that crime of this nature is becoming increasingly common.
