A salon owner in Costessey today told how a raid on her business led to her entire stock, valued at £6,000, being stolen.
Mother-of-three April Akerman arrived at the Sheer Elegance hairdressers, in Oval Road, to discover four police cars outside.
She spoke of her relief that her colleagues had not been hurt during the burglary, which resulted the front room of the shop being left bare.
“This was my entire range of stock and they took absolutely everything in that room, but the first thing I felt when I found out was relief that the staff hadn’t been there when it happened,” she said,
CCTV footage from a neighbouring bakers has led police to believe that the break-in took place between 1.45 and 3am on Thursday.
They have described a man seen in the area at the time as around 6ft tall with a bald head and wearing dark clothes.
