"Crime rates in Leeds are still one of the highest in West Yorkshire, perhaps due to the sheer size of the city and student areas acting as a hot bed for burglaries and drug abuse.
In 2011 Leeds was found to be the city with the third highest burglary rates in the UK.
Winter sees an uprise in burglaries.
Last November break-ins occurred in Hyde Park and Woodhouse area via tiny basement windows."
