Another incident involving two individuals, the male has caused criminal damage multiple times to our shop and has given racist abuse.

This morning he threatened to come back with a hammer to cause more damage as well as come back with bleach to throw in our faces.

We would like names and addresses of these two individuals.

Watch the video to see how they react after being refused service. We will post their pictures in the comments.

On the 15th of November this person was asked to stop swearing on numerous times in the shop. After not accepting our request she was abusive and racist whilst leaving our shop.

For half an hour outside the shop she and a young girl that was with her, were screaming and kicking the door as well throwing things at the window, including eggs.

This was heard by many customers inside the shop.

Today they have been walking past, banging on the door. Constantly opening and shutting the door and screaming.

They were reported to the police on the 15th and a follow up will be done again now.

A name would be appreciated if you know this person.

We’ve just had another incident in the shop. A bunch of kids probably 13/14 years old came into the shop and decided it would be hilarious to bring a tree branch and play with it causing a mess as well as trying to steal from the shop.

Once removed they later came back and threw their branch in the shop. All whilst being very sarcastic about the situation with some hand gestures.

They are part of a large group of young boys and girls being very anti-social in the village centre. Why must the villagers and businesses have to deal with this?

We will not post the pictures of the kids, however we feel inclined to contact the local schools and authorities. If these are your children you should ask what they get up to.

Villagers

If your child is wearing a light blue beanie hat, dark blue scarf, Minnie Mouse backpack, red NFL top with 97 on it and has a 3 wheel scooter.

Your child thinks it is ok to steal, as they have just stolen items from our shop within the last 20 minutes.

If the child or their guardians do not come forward to pay for the goods we will be forced to share their clear CCTV image to the police.

There have been a series of robberies around the village shops from nomadic individuals over the last few days.

These individuals, including children are storming the village shops and running out with items without paying.

This is a disgrace and should not be happening in our village. Unfortunately despite reporting theft, the police do not do too much to apprehend these criminals or compensate the losses of our businesses.

It is our businesses this time, what’s next? Our houses?

Over the years nothing has been done about thefts in our businesses with the police. We ask, not just for ourselves but also in support of other village businesses that villagers contact the police and put some pressure onto protecting our village, our community and stopping these criminals.

These are a selection of kids who have recently been asked to stop coming to the shop. They have been abusive and racist, mocking accents and throwing stones at the windows.

They have been asked to stop for hours now.

If you know these kids ask them to stop otherwise we will contact the schools and relevant authorities to deal with this.

It is intimidating to everyone, including staff, other shoppers and passers by.

On Saturday, this person thought it was okay to put extra nail polish in his pocket and not pay for it.

Today with different people working, they decided to run away with a packet of to***co after their card declined.

This person is a thief in our Village. Recognise him? Then share this post and his name.

I’m sure this young man will enjoy seeing a nice big poster of him in the window and this post on Facebook.

We have also reported it to the police.

Friendly Reminder, this is why we ask you to wait during a card transaction.

14/07/2021

Around 20 minutes ago, we received a call from this number 07720380065. This person rang up very aggressively with racist comments and some serious threats, including saying they will come to the shop in the evening and smash it up.

This is all because yesterday this man’s wife didn’t have the correct ID for their parcel collection therefore we couldn’t give them their parcel.

This man also turned up around 30 minutes ago and has also threatened to ring his ‘boys who can be here in 5’ and has been lingering around the shop after sarcastically apologising.

Short man, with short hair, in white shirt with dulux logo, shorts and work boots.
