A local Co-op has placed a ban on primary and secondary schoolchildren after a string of reported incidents involving theft and antisocial behaviour.
The store, in Bonnyrigg, Midlothian, has imposed the temporary measure to make it a "more enjoyable customer environment" after local schoolchildren were allegedly helping themselves to food on several occasions.
Earlier in the week, one local reported that their young child had been turned away from the store having done nothing wrong.
