Just to let you know there have been number of recent muggings on shoppers at the Sainsburys - Dog Kennel Hill.
There have been muggings today, and yesterday, in the run up to Xmas.
There is a group of 5 black youths. Some wearing a masks or balaclavas.
They approach shoppers once they have left the supermarket and attack them, punch and rob them for phones, wallet etc, as they make their way to the bus stops.
Sainsburys do not seem have adequate security. They need to look at this issue - and take it seriously.
They also refuse to take any responsibility for the car park. Their CCTV cameras only cover the store apparently. So if you shop by car you are likely to be a target also.
Sainsburys staff and management refused to call the police. Perhaps this is bad for business, and they say that the police will not show up.
The youths were recorded on the CCTV system - so they know who they are.
They have also been coming into the store & stealing items.
So if you do choose to shop there or park there, be aware that you are on your own, and be prepared. It cannot be considered a safe environment for the staff or shoppers at the moment.
Hopefully - it will not be too long before the police catch up with them.
