Stanley shop owner faces losing his business after being unable to recover from New Year's Eve burglary

Thieves and vandals have left a shop owner fearing he will have to give up his business.

Less than a year after opening his gaming store, Sean Randell believes that time is already running out on his dream career as he is unable to recover financially from the damage caused. The 29-year-old ploughed months of hard work and energy into creating a venue which he aspired would become a hub for the community.

The shop includes a games arcade and a sweet shop and Sean explains that some customers can spend up to five hours socialising in the store. But he admits that the shop he hoped would benefit young people in the community is being destroyed by the age group he targeted his business towards.
