Leeds designer store Flannels hit by ram-raiders
Three cars are believed to have been used in the latest attack this evening, with the raiders leaving one hanging half-way out of the building as they fled in the other vehicles.
It is not yet known what goods the thieves have taken.
A police spokesman said a cordon was now in place around the shop, in Vicar Lane, after police were called shortly after 9pm today (August 20). The road is open to traffic.

It is the third time in nine months that the designer store has been ram-raided.
Thieves struck in December last year and again on June 25.
