Leeds is the railway station with the highest level of reported crime in Yorkshire, and crimes have also been reported at other stations within the Leeds area.

These are some of the most shocking crimes to be reported at the station, according to data gathered by the JPImedia Investigations Team from British Transport Police. The data covers crimes reported at the station between January 2014 and February 2019. Crime is often reported at terminus stations on routes, so the crimes listed here could have taken place at the stations themselves, or on the trains or the railway itself. Photos are for illustrative purposes only.
