Leeds cleared to reopen Elland Road after man arrested following security threat

West Yorkshire Police have advised Leeds that Elland Road can reopen after arresting a 20-year-old man on Saturday following a security threat.

The threat forced the closure of the stadium on Friday as police evacuated the ground, its offices and the club shop before carrying out checks after Leeds received a threat via social media.

But on Sunday morning a club statement read: “West Yorkshire Police have advised Leeds that Elland Road can reopen, effective immediately. We apologise for any inconvenience and we thank the public for their support.”

Police said on Saturday a 20-year-old man had been arrested “in connection with the incident and enquiries remain ongoing”.
