Human hair stolen from Beauty shop
April 26th, 2011 - 3:01 am ICT by Aishwarya BhattChicago, Apr 25 (THAINDIAN NEWS) In a ‘hair raising’ criminal event, thieves made off with human hair and premium products from Beauty One store in West Roosevelt, Chicago. The incident happened on early Sunday morning when three men arrived in a white color van and broke open the main door followed by breaking the ‘double locked’ huge steel door. They collected the ‘premium’ human hair tresses and expensive range beauty products from the store.
What surprised the owner of the store, Han, is that, the thieves did not touch the money at all and instead just looted the premium human hair. The robbery, which was worth $80,000 was completed in very short time. Although, the police alarm went off, the thieves were out of the shop and on their way by the time police could arrive.
This owner is surprised by the level of knowledge the thieves had about the type of hair and the difference between premium human hair and the synthetic one. The hair tresses are very famous amongst the Afro-American community and are used for beautification purposes.
“They know, because they have a wife and they know what they do to beautify their hair styles and how they invest their money to buy hair,” said Han. “They knew that there is a difference between synthetic hair.”
