A baby faced thief brazenly stole a tip jar from a newly opened Edinburgh dessert shop, leaving hard working staff gutted. Bilal and Amber, who own Sweet Paradice Desserts on Comiston Road, saw the youngster nick the jar filled with gratuities for the team.
CCTV footage shows the teenager wearing a blue tracksuit, grab the jar and make off with it, reports Edinburgh Live. The family behind the business have decided not to contact police due to the youngster's tender age but have been left gutted by the raid.
Sweet Paradice Dessers is a popular Instagramable cafe serving sweet treats, mocktails and milkshakes to Morningside locals. The bosses explained that the dessert shop has only been open a year and that it is incredibly difficult to run a business during the cost of living crisis without having to deal with careless blows to staff morale.
