Scared residents fear Leeds market town is turning into crime hotspot and 'going down gutter'
It was a wet and cold Tuesday evening. The Leeds suburb, known to its residents as a safe haven, was quiet - certainly nothing to suggest that specialist emergency service resources were to be deployed into the street.
Heather Gomersall, who has lived in Morley all her life, claims crime in the area is getting worse, she said: "It’s ok people finding this a joke but this is real life. People getting hurt because of d*******s thinking they rule and having no respect for this town. Isabel, who lives in Morley, commented on this incident, saying: "When I was leaving the gym last night I saw like four ambulances go past and was wondering what had happened. I saw on Facebook afterwards, Morley is usually so quiet you don't hear of things like that happening here."
"Specialist emergency services resources were deployed to the scene. The substance was found to be a suspected CS gas spray. Enquiries are ongoing."
