Police criticized for inaction after rampaging attacker targeted Rotherham shop

A shopkeeper in Rotherham, UK, was left shocked after police failed to arrest a rampaging attacker who had targeted his shop, nor did they return to check on the staff or damage caused. The incident occurred at Today's Express on Upper Millgate, and police gave chase but were unable to catch the suspect. The shop's owner, Akmeemana Silva, expressed his disappointment that officers had not returned or collected CCTV evidence. This incident follows a previous knife-wielding robbery at the same shop two years ago. The spokesperson for South Yorkshire Police said that the shop owner was given details of how to send CCTV footage over and that officers regularly patrol the area.
