A Derbyshire supermarket has become a hotspot for anti-social behaviour – with a gang of youths stealing from the premises and abusing staff.

The Bolsover Safer Neighbourhood Team has reported an increase in anti-social behaviour around Morrisons on Oxcroft Lane, Bolsover.

An SNT spokesperson said: “A group of youths have been committing thefts, being abusive towards staff and generally being a nuisance. This behaviour will not be tolerated and is currently being investigated by the Bolsover team.
