Thieves won't stop me says Hucclecote newsagent.

HE'S been flooded and burgled in the space of a week but newsagent Logeswaran Sivasubraniam is still in business.

The Citizen

Mr Sivasubramaniam, has run the shop for more than four years.

He said the problems started when his store was flooded on Sunday morning, knocking out the electricity and damaging stock.

He said: “I had to call the fire brigade to mop up the water.

“Then that night, because there were no alarms or power, someone broke into the shop.”

The thieves who broke in that night ransacked Miller News, stealing cigarettes and the shop till and caused even more damage to the shop.

Despite the upheaval Mr Sivasubramaniam isn't letting the trauma of the past week get in the way of his trade.

The inside of the shop might be too damaged for customers to be allowed inside but that hasn't stopped Hucclecote getting its news.

With a table set up for his newspapers he has been greeting his regular customers from his make-shift store on the pavement.

Citizens

“I'm not going to let this get me down. It's going to take a week to get the shop fixed so I'll be selling my papers outside until its done.”

Anyone with information on the break-in at Miller News can call Gloucestershire police on 0845 090 1234 or Crimestoppers.
