National retailer Currys PC World has apologised for an unofficial sign urging "tramps" to stop raiding bins and "start looking for a job".

The sign was stuck up behind the bins at the rear of the store on Plas Coch retail park in Wrexham.

It read: "Attention Tramps – stop looking for valuables in our bins and start looking for a job".

The sign was spotted by Simon Hall from Secondhand Shed who said he couldn't see any harm in people, homeless or not, recycling rubbish from the store.

It has since been removed by Currys PC World.

Simon said: "To me as long as the homeless or whoever is looking in the bins does not make a mess I can't see any harm in it. In this day of recycling it surely is a good thing and if they make a few quid from selling what they find then fair play to them.

"And just look at the success these new restaurants are having using past sell by date food we are all still to keen to throw things away that still have plenty of life left in them.

"I go looking for boxes and packaging for sending my Ebay parcels."

Currys PC World store manager Iain Yarwood said: "I apologise for any offence that may have been caused to anyone who may have seen this sign at the back of our store.

“It is in no way an official notice and is not representative of the company’s or the store’s views.

“The sign has been removed and the matter is being dealt with internally.”
