Supermarkets owners have made the drastic decision to ban teenagers in stores at night amid a surge in youth crime.
IGA stores in Geraldton, Western Australian, announced they will refuse entry to unsupervised children after 6pm in an attempt to tackle a spate of shoplifting and abuse toward staff.
Unaccompanied children under 16 may be refused entry or asked to leave the stores in Rigters, Queens and Wonthella, in the state's mid-west.
