Leeds carol singers 'up to no good' in Harrogate
- Published
The suspicious singers were reportedly "from Leeds"
Carol singers "up to no good", neighbours having "loud sex" and a man throwing a milkshake around in a takeaway were among complaints made to police on "Mad Friday".
North Yorkshire Police tweeted every incident it received between 12:00 GMT on 21 December to 06:00 the next day.
A caller from Harrogate told the force singers "she believes are from Leeds" were causing trouble.
One man replied on social media "build a wall and make Leeds pay for it".
So-called Mad Friday is considered one of the busiest of the year for police.
The force was inundated with comedy responses during its "tweetathon" to the carol singer complaint.
