A defiant shopkeeper who was told by police to remove a shop-lifting sign in case it caused offence said he planned to put up an even bigger one.
Police caused a free-speech row when they turned up at Rob Davis's vintage store in North Wales and told him to take down a handwritten sign that referred to shoplifters as 'scum bags'.
They told him they had received a complaint about the notice, which stated: 'Due to scum bags shoplifting please ask for assistance to open cabinets.'
But Mr Davis, who says he was driven to put it up on his shop door because of escalating shoplifting in Wrexham, told The Mail on Sunday that he had no intention of taking it down.
He added: 'The sign is staying – and I may even get a bigger one.
