A group of yobs stole dozens of items from the store's alcohol shelves.
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.”
