A Costcutter store on Biggar Road in Edinburgh has been repeatedly targeted by a group of young females who have stolen alcohol and left staff terrified. The shop owner, Garry Singh, is considering selling his business due to the stress and financial impact of the raids.
Staff at a shop in Edinburgh are "living in fear" after a gang of female youths raided the store. Costcutter on Biggar Road was targeted by the group of yobs, who stole £50 worth of alcohol.
“It is non-stop and happening in the middle of the day,” Garry said. “Six or seven girls came in and started gathering cans while another distracted a staff member. "Wee bits of juice and running away isn’t a nightmare but £50 worth of stock kills us as a small business, our profit margin just disappears. Around 20-25 come back regularly and split into groups. I’d say the youngest looks around 10 years old.”
