SHOPPERS in a Scots town have been banned from wearing hoods and baseball caps.
Police in Paisley say the controversial move will help them catch shoplifters who try to conceal their faces from CCTV cameras.
However, the ban was criticised by Donnie Nicholson, the national organiser with Scottish Socialist Youth.
He said: "I'm disappointed by this ban. Those enforcing it should really get a grip, not least because it's winter.
"They should look at why crime occurs, it's nothing to do with youth culture. This has been tried elsewhere and it won't solve anything."
