'Massive impact' as thieves 'use disabled child' to steal from Nottinghamshire shop

Shoplifters pinched more than £100 of cured meat from a shop on West Bridgford's high street. Workers at the Fruit Basket in Gordon Road said the theft on January 25 had had a "massive" impact on the store.

Manager Cherie Severn told Nottinghamshire Live two women came into the shop and took five £20 packets of hand-carved cured meat. She said the women, who she described as short and in their 40s and 60s, had used a child with a disability to distract a colleague.

"She was screaming," said shop assistant Debs Gilmore. "The shop was busy and I was on my own, they knew what they were doing."
