Roma children at centre of Leeds unrest returned to extended family

Four children had been removed from house in Harehills to prevent them being taken abroad

Roma children who were taken into care, sparking unrest in Leeds last week, have been returned to their extended family.

Police and social services removed the four children from a house in Harehills on Thursday to prevent them being taken abroad in breach of a court order. The children, aged between eight and 14, had been living with family members since being removed from their parents in April, the family court in Leeds heard on Tuesday.
