Eight Yorkshire Stone paving slabs worth £1,000 were found in the back of the van

Alan Gardiner and Steven Broadhead were seen backing up a Ford Transit van on the Leeds street and tried to make off with the Yorkshire Stone slabs.

The pair appeared at Leeds Crown Court where prosecutor Philip Standfast said their van that was bearing false number plates.They pulled up outside the property just after noon on May 26, 2020, and began prising up the flag with crowbars.

The officer and her partner ran from the house to apprehend the pair, who scrambled back into the van.They then ran off with Broadhead shouting: “We will come back for your house.”Eight Yorkshire Stone paving slabs worth £1,000 were found in the back of the van, while forensic analysis of items from the van tied both defendants to the offence.
