A Glasgow shop assistant was sentenced to four months of home detention for abducting a 13-year-old boy and taking his photo.
A shop assistant who abducted a 13-year-old customer and took his photograph was given a tag yesterday. Munir Ahmad, 46, held the terrified boy at Glasgow's Corkerhill General Store on January 6 2023. Glasgow Sheriff Court heard that there was history between Ahmad and the boy. The boy and a friend had attended the shop earlier that day and left. However, the teenager returned shortly after and shouted before he left.
Prosecutor Hazel Kerr said: 'For an unknown reason, Ahmad forcibly grabbed hold of the boy and took him to the back room of the store. 'He did not leave and prevented the boy from leaving. The boy was frightened as Ahmad was larger in frame and did not know what was going to happen.' Ahmad went on to take a picture of the boy and closed the door. Miss Kerr added: 'Ahmad waited for a few more seconds before allowing the boy to exit the store.' The boy initially did not tell his parents until they were later informed by relatives that something had happened. Police were contacted and CCTV was viewed which corroborated the boy's version of events. Ahmad, of the city's Cardonald, was later traced and arrested for the matter. He pled guilty to abducting the boy and detaining him against his will. His lawyer told yesterday's sentencing that the shop and its employees had previous bad blood with a number of youths. Jim O'Dowd said: 'Mr Ahmad unfortunately took hold of the boy and took him to the back shop to get some details of his family to try and get something done about what was happening. 'There was nothing more sinister than that and he went about it the wrong way.' Sheriff Louise Arrol KC tagged Ahmad for four months keeping him indoors between 7pm and 7am between Mondays and Saturdays. He was also put under supervision for four month
