Shoppers were left "coughing and choking" on orange smoke after a flare was set off in a North Yorkshire shop, police have said.

The store estimated the disruption cost them 拢600 in lost sales, the North Yorkshire force said.
A 16 and 17-year-old boy have been arrested and police are looking for a third boy who was also in the store.
Officers are appealing for witnesses and have asked any shoppers who were evacuated during the 19 September incident to get in touch.
