The Carling Weekend: Leeds Festival passed off quietly for the second year running as the three day bash wrapped up last night (August 26).

Over the course of six days of camping there were a total of 29 arrests for minor offences including drug related crime and theft.
Overall there were also 130 reported crimes of theft at the northern leg of the Carling Weekend.
But the police received no reports of public disorder offences.
