A man has admitted destroying the plaque
Gregory Michael Palmer, 60, from Leeds appeared at the city's magistrates' court on Wednesday, having been charged with criminal damage by postal requisition. He pleaded guilty to two counts of criminal damage - one of which relates to the damage of the replica plaque on July 7 last year.
The replica was the second replacement to have been put in place at the site of the original metal plaque, which was stolen from Leeds Bridge on April 25 last year. A man, aged in his 30s, was arrested on May 9 in relation to the theft of the original plaque and remains under investigation while enquiries continue.

He drowned in the River Aire and two police officers were jailed for assault. Read the full story here.
Leeds Magistrates' Court said Palmer admitted two counts of criminal damage, but denied a charge of racially aggravated criminal damage in relation to an incident at a business premises in Wellington Street, Leeds, on April 17 last year. He will stand trial at Leeds Magistrates' Court on October 13 in relation to that charge.
