Officers have been trying to locate Shaun David Shepherd, 27, of Nelson Street, since 14 May, but "extensive enquiries" have so far failed to lead them to him.

He's believed to have connections to the Eastfield and East Ayton areas.

Anyone with information about his whereabouts is being asked to contact police.

Here's a nice start to the day - a new arrival at Harewood House in Leeds.

Her mum, Lady, gave birth unaided on Wednesday night.

Both are doing well and Lady is showing signs of being a "fantastic mother", staff at Harewood say.

You'll be able to go and visit the new arrival from this weekend.

Officers investigating the attempted murder of a man in a shooting at a Leeds nightclub last year have arrested a 23-year-old man.

He was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder in relation to the shooting outside Nitetrax nightclub, in Chapeltown Road, Chapeltown, early on Monday 29 August.

A 42-year-old man was seriously injured in the incident.

Two men are currently remanded in custody having previously been charged with attempted murder in relation to the incident.

A cloudy and breezy start to Friday, with some rain spreading to the south east.

However, we can look forward to a drier afternoon - though it'll be breezy if not blustery.

Watch my full forecast here:

A year to the day since the UK went to the polls to vote on leaving the European Union, the Prime Minister's being urged to make sure West Yorkshire's not forgotten due to Brexit talks.

The leaders of the county's five councils have written to Downing Street saying they're worried that proposals such as the fast rail link to Manchester could be neglected as Brexit talks begin.

In the letter, the leaders say the Leeds City Region can help re-balance the British economy and help the government's vision of creating a so-called Northern Powerhouse.

They go on to ask that 2017 becomes the year when the county gets devolved government and is allowed to make more decisions on running its own economy.

And the council leaders also ask Theresa May to reaffirm a commitment made by David Cameron's government to create new public transport links for Yorkshire such as the proposed high-speed trans-Pennine rail route.

Eight men have been arrested as part of an investigation into historical child sexual exploitation and abuse in Rotherham.

The men, aged 32, 35, 36 and 37, who are from Sheffield and Rotherham, were arrested this week as part of the National Crime Agency's Operation Stovewood inquiry.

The offences, which include rape and indecent assault, are alleged to have been committed against five girls under 16 between 1998 and 2003.

The men have been released under investigation.

A total of 23 men have been arrested and eight people have been charged with 42 offences as part of Operation Stovewood.

Things looks likely to improve in Leeds city centre now following an earlier incident which led to the closure of Boar Lane:

Rather cloudy and breezy with some outbreaks of rain, the heaviest of which will be over the Pennines.

Cloud and outbreaks of rain will slowly clear to the south overnight and it will become mostly dry later with some clear spells developing.

A vigil is due to be held in Sheffield later for the victims of the London and Manchester terror attacks and the Grenfell Tower fire tragedy.

It will take place at 18:30 at Barker’s Pool in the city centre and has been organised by community leaders working with the council.

Faith and community leaders will speak at the event, which will be opened by the Lord Mayor of Sheffield, followed by a minute's silence:

Looks like there's a problem on the roads in Leeds city centre near the railway station at the moment.

Police say roads in the area will be open again by about 08:00 - but that's no solace if you need to be somewhere now:

Marcin and Angelika Klis died as they waited to collect their daughters from the Ariana Grande concert last month.

The couple, who were originally from Poland, were among 22 people who died in the attack.

A number of fundraising events have taken place, with proceeds going to their two daughters.

A JustGiving page has surpassed its original target of raising £10,000, with the total now standing at about £18,000.
