Hundreds raised for hedgehog rescue after thieves steal their van in Leeds
Hundreds has been raised for Andrew's Hedgehog Rescue after the theft in Leeds city centre on Saturday morning.
The Scunthorpe-based charity had been visiting for a market stall to highlight the plight of hedgehogs, and had the van parked near Albion Place when it was taken at around 8.15am.

Concerns are high for the hedgehog who was inside at the time, who is blind.
A fundraising page has since been set up to support the charity in buying a new van.
The GoFundMe page said: "We are raising money in aid of Andrew's Hedgehog Hospital and every donation will help.

"As you can imagine everyone is devastated. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to us."
The page so far has raised £120 of its £5,000 goal. You can donate here.
