Several Edinburgh shop owners in Gorgie feel hopeless after being terrorised by teen gang and 'ignored by police' when seeking help for the harassment.
A number of businesses in the community have been repeatedly targeted by a group of teens with the behaviour escalating from causing havoc and shoplifting to vandalism and assault.
Chief Inspector Mark Hamilton says that the force are aware of the incidents and are putting more police on patrol in the area. But after months of incidents, locals have told Edinburgh Live it feels like "too little, too late".
