Shoppers stunned as travellers in dressing gowns pitch caravans at Tesco car park
Around 12 caravans, vans and mobile homes were scattered over parking spaces at the store, less than a mile from Wembley Stadium.
Young women were seen smoking and pushing babies and youngsters around in buggies and shopping trolleys.The local council is said to be aware, but it was unclear if action is being taken. The Sun Online has attempted to contact Tesco for comment, and Brent Council confirmed as it is on private land is is "a matter for the landowner and the police".The supermarket is less than half a mile from a 32-pitch travellers' site run by Brent Council.
It took back control of the site last year and promised a £500,000 program of upgrades and improvements.In November the site was raided by large numbers of police officers in riot gear, who arrived in 20 vans.Resident families complained saying their tactics were heavy-handed. There is no suggestion the families at the Tesco Extra are connected to those living in the nearby site.It comes days after another Tesco, in New Malden in south west London, was closed down after a number of travellers pitched up in the car park.
