OFFICERS say they’ve been dealing with ‘unacceptable’ behaviour by youths at the Tesco store in Hailsham.
The incidents have been taking place in the hours just before and after school hours, and Police have been stepping in to help the store tackle the youngsters.
A reader, who didn’t want to be named, told Hailsham News: “I was at the Tesco store yesterday (12 February) around 4pm, and there were school kids running everywhere, just out to cause trouble. They were running in and out of the store, just mocking security and staff.
“It doesn’t make it very nice for us shoppers when all the staff and security are just trying to deal with troublesome kids – it’s not really their job!”
A Sussex Police spokesperson said: “You may see us patrolling the area and the store to keep youth ASB to a minimum.
“Anti-social behaviour of any kind will not be tolerated in our community. If you see or hear something we need to know about, please call us on 101 or report online here https://orlo.uk/XWxTR.”
