Children aged four and six steal from newsagent as mother eggs them on

A newsagent has told how his shop became a target for thieves in Liverpool – children aged barely six and four.

Angry Sammi Mohammed has CCTV footage showing the young boy and girl stealing from his store, apparently under the instructions of their mother waiting outside. The pair targeted Mr Mohammed’s shop shortly after 1.45pm on Tuesday while he had a number of other customers coming in and out during the busy lunchtime period.



Mr Mohammed said: “I just fear for the future for those kids if they grow up thinking that is OK, that is a normal thing to do.”

“I had customers in the shop and by the time I’d got out they were long gone. What could I have done anyway, they were small children?” The shopkeeper said he believes they were no more than six and four in age.
