Supermarket staff have been sworn and spat at by unruly youths, police said.
Officers in Great Harwood said children as young as primary school age were seen ‘running amok’ in Tesco and Morrisons supermarkets in Great Harwood.
When they were asked to leave the stores they became abusive towards staff and on one occasion spat at a manager.
The incidents happened between 7pm and 8.30pm on Monday, January 16.
PC Anna Gavela, of Great Harwood police, said CCTV of the incidents are now being examined to try and identify the offenders.
A Hyndburn Police spokesperson said: “Some truly awful evening time behaviour reported by supermarket staff in Great Harwood this week.
“Young people running amok in shops, even swearing and spitting at staff and customers.”
