Over the past couple of days we have had a lot of disturbances with a few youths in store antagonising and making threats to staff. Refusing to leave the store when asked in big groups. One of the incidents has been in front of small children who have become upset and a huge disruption to customers in store. The police whilst patrolling the area witnessed this and spoke to the youths to let them know that their behaviour was unacceptable and that they should stay away from our store. Unfortunately they haven’t and are continuing to stop us from doing a job we are paid to do. We have been advised to contact the police with relevant reference numbers and have been informed they will start going into schools to check who they are with the help from our cctv images of them. As part of a community we are hoping we can resolve this together rather than going down that route. Please if you know your child is apart of this group or your knowledgable about any of their parents, we kindly ask you to speak to them and discuss how this is unacceptable and disrespectful not only to us but to customers in store. Thank you for your continued support 💙
