The incident has been reported to Essex Police, who are investigating the attack.
Mr Ahmed said: "I think the group was from another city - they don't have expensive things like computers and phone so they try to steal.
"Dealing with underage people is especially hard for us because the police told us they could not punish them as they are still minors.
There’s a picture of the miscreants at the news report trying to batter their way into the shop, and if you had an image of cheeky schoolboys in short trousers, catapult sticking out of a back pocket, thanks to the description of ‘minors’ it will soon disabuse you, and might in fact have you humming ' Men of Harlech' instead.

Strange thing. They looked exactly as I expected. I must me stereotypeing unconsciously.
I need anti bias training!
Unless the law has changed since my days, only those under 10 are accepted as not understanding right or wrong (which is why travellers, allegedly, involve their younger children in crimes such as burglary or theft). These toerags deserve the same level of courtesy that they are happy to dish out to others.
