In detail, Leah Johnston was attacked by 6 teenage people while working at the Friendly Normandy Market in Normandy Park.
The 20-second video monitored by the surveillance camera showed the thieves laughing after they raided the shelves, and one of them assaulted the employee with kicks and punches until she fell to the ground, while the rest carried out the robbery.
