Knives, needles and glass. That’s just some of the things Dan Brown has been threatened with at work.
Like many shopkeepers across Scotland, he has witnessed a rise in violence, theft and abuse to the point of it becoming “commonplace”.
He owns the Pinkie Farm Convenience Store in Musselburgh and says stealing is putting the safety of he and his workers at risk.
“We’ve certainly seen a significant increase in the crimes that are happening in our store and for us the main concern is the violence and abuse that comes with that,” he told STV News.
