Double trouble for local thieves

Comments (3) | Print | Email

Two 15 year old girls were caught shoplifting in Morrisons supermarket in Largs last Thursday at 1pm.

A member of Largs Academy staff had approached the pupils in the premises on suspicion that they had stolen property from within the school. However, it then became apparent that the two offenders had stolen items from within the store and the police were contacted.

After a police interview, the pair from Largs and Wemyss Bay were cautioned and charged with stealing a quantity of confectionary and dvds from the supermarket. They will be reported to the Children's Panel.

The Largs girl is also being reported in connection with stealing a purse, and an ipod, belonging to a fellow pupil after an incident at 12 midday on the same day.

  This is not the way to start out on near adult-life (or does it start at '25' these days),They should get part time jobs are EARN the money for the thinhs they want. THAT IT THE RIGHT WAY TO LIVE GIRLS, according to what you are worth as a person - DON'T BE LABELED "A CRIMINAL" OR IT WILL FOUL YOU UP WELL & PROPER. If you don;t think you amount to much... find some training ... there are people who WIll help !!!
  
  Additionally "Morrisons" has a moral responsibility to CARE for their communities and NOT to "criminalize" ANYONE given the VAST, CONSTANT WEALTH they are dragging in (making HUGE profits on everything ... BILLIONS), DEAL WITH PEOPLE FAIRLY ACCORDING TO THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES -
  
  ESPECIALLY CHILDREN OR YOUNG PEOPLE TRYING TO FIND THEIR WAY IN LIFE (NOT TO BE STAMPED "CRIMINAL" !!
  
  Life is too important than to FOUL UP, especially when you;re YOUNG. HOPING THEY BOTH TURN INTO BEAUTIFUL LADIES.

  Maybe a kick up the A** would do as much good !
  
  It is Full Moon next Tuesday... WHO KNOWS WHAT THEN ?
  
  Life's Life, must bit a bit of a toll for them though (probably some kind of kick... got to laugh somehow !)
  
  Seriously I hope they (and their victims) get back on the right track (skipping Tuesday) .
