Geraldton's chain of IGA stores has enforced a ban on unsupervised children entering their stores after 6pm due to a rise in shoplifting and staff abuse.

IGA Geraldton General Manager, Kyme Rigter, says they had no other choice.

"There's no set age bracket but unfortunately we have seen a steady increase in juvenile activities, antisocial behaviour and theft," Mr Rigter said.
