  1. If you see these drug addled criminals call 999 they have been spotted on many occasions recently

  2. They all wear these hoodies and balaclavas so they can’t be recognised. There a a bunch of teenagers on electric scooters roaming the town who do the same thing.

  3. What a disgusting bunch of cowards! The town needs to come together, find out who they are, and dish out some justice! These kids need to be taught a lesson or they’ll try it again!

  4. one wouls presume the police would have checked the CCTV at sainsburys

  5. Sainsburys petrol station has CCTV
