-

YOBS are assaulting 250 shop staff across Britain every day.

Abuse and attacks on retail workers have rocketed 25% in the past year.

Boozed-up gangs of youths are to blame for 41% of all anti-social behaviour crimes against shop workers.

Gangsters dealing drugs account for 14%, the research for OnBuy.com found.

Managing director Cas Paton said: “In this current climate of lawless behaviour, this comes as no real surprise.”
